Mark Mitten
Wild Ridge Press
In Sheriff Breckenridge Dyer’s absence, the small mountain town of Quandary, Colorado falls into a tailspin. Deputy Jenny O’Hara gets rammed off the road in the Blue River Gorge, a gold miner eats a shotgun shell, local ski bums trip on magic mushrooms, and a corrupt United States senator brooks no dissent in her desire for power. Once Breck returns to reclaim his badge, will he have enough time to unravel the knot of deceit and violence before he faces his own day in court?
