Camelback Falls: 3

[MP3CD audiobook format in vinyl case.]

[Read by Jim Meskimen]

When his friend Peralta, newly sworn in as sheriff, is shot by a sniper, David Mapstone, former historian and new deputy sheriff, can't keep a cool, academic distance and he'd better not. While Peralta lies comatose in the hospital, the powers that be install Mapstone as acting sheriff in his friend's place. Mapstone feels unqualified, but he's the only person whose temporary appointment won't infuriate all the other candidates, who want the sheriff's position permanently. Meanwhile, a cryptic note scrawled by Peralta before the shooting forces Mapstone to confront his own personal history, inadvertently drawing him into danger. Mapstone soon discovers that the past has deadly consequences and the mean streets of the new West have never been more sinister.
