Description

Undersheriff Bill Gastner has no other life than in law enforcement--and doesn't want one, even if hes being nudged gently toward retirement. When a car full of teens, running from a traffic stop, goes airborne into a rocky outcrop, all of the teens are killed and a package of cocaine is found under the seat. Has someone brought big-time crime to the county?

Reviews

"Gastner is a unique and endearing protagonist who certainly deserves plenty of encores." - Booklist STARRED Review "Septuagenarian undersheriff Bill Gastner of Posadas County, N.M., is the skeptical, endearing narrator of this mystery debut by a writer of Westerns...If the villain's identity is not surprising, readers still will enjoy this caper and look forward to future appearances of curmudgeonly charmer Gastner." - Publishers Weekly
