Sheriff Grizzly Ultimate Omnibus Volume 2 of 3 Adam Carter

His town: Grizzleton. His name: Bear. His secret: he's a grizzly bear wearing a sheriff's uniform ... but doesn't realise. Collecting books 5 - 8 of the Sheriff Grizzly series. Join Bear, Deputy Rake and Doc Rum Tinkly as they protect Grizzleton (population 36) from outlaws, varmints and strange animal folk who turn up from time to time. First, Deputy Rake tries to impress Doc Tinkly by spending the night with her in a spooky mansion. When the house kidnaps Tinkly, Rake runs away in his underwear and teams up with the ghost of a long-dead lawman to get her back. Then, it's Christmas! Doc Tinkly finds a wounded reindeer named Blitzen (who may or may not just be an actor). After this, a polar bear in a Santa costume tries to kill Bear because the two of them are in love with the same woman back home (although Bear can't remember either the woman or his home). Once that's over, Bear protects a gold-mine from a trio of no-good claim jumpers who call themselves the Kangaroo Quartet. Plus, Doc Tinkly almost sets Bear up on a blind date. To round things off, Bear teams up with a bounty hunter named Kurt Rawdeal to rescue a woman from the 'Cross the Pond Gang. Along the way, the sheriff meets up with two nuns and at last begins to remember things about his past (and the woman back home) that all this this time he's been forced to forget. All the while, Bear - a five-foot bundle of fur, fangs and feral fierceness - really can't understand why people seem to think he's a grizzly bear.
