About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Jon Talton, a fourth-generation Arizonan, is the author of numerous novels, including Dry Heat, named a best fiction book of the year by Arizona Highways magazine. He is a former columnist for the Arizona Republic and former business editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He is economics columnist for the Seattle Times and writes the blog Rogue Columnist. Jim Meskimen is a stage, film, and television actor who has appeared in many well-known movies and television shows. He acted in Apollo 13 and Frost/Nixon for director Ron Howard, both of which were nominated for Best Picture Oscars. His television appearances include The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Friends, Lie to Me, Criminal Minds, and Parks and Recreation. He is also a painter, award-winning audiobook narrator, and audiobook director for Galaxy Audio.

Review :
"[A] twisty and crafty plot." -- "Chicago Tribune" "A worthy successor to Talton's critically acclaimed debut, Conrete Desert." -- "Booklist" "Talton's second mystery features a solid narrative, detailed descriptions of the new West (with bitter commentary), and forceful subplots involving Mapstone's past and present. Strongly urged." -- "Library Journal" "Deputy Mapstone, firmly in the neo-noir tradition, is strong, suitably sensitive, and increasingly sympathetic." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "In this clever plot-twister, a bizarre series of actions transforms Deputy David Mapstone...into acting sheriff...Talton handles the difficult task of having his hero play simultaneous roles of acting sheriff and lone wolf without losing credibility. The Arizona setting (from the 1970s to the present) is faultless...Talton has mined another gem from the Southwest's trove of memorable sheriffs." -- "Publishers Weekly"
