In Havill’s mystery novel, Bill Gastner is an undersheriff in Posadas County, New Mexico. When Ricky Fernandez and four other teens die in an unexplained car crash, Bill’s instincts kick into high gear as he realizes there is more here than meets the eye. Before long a bag of cocaine is discovered and the new sheriff—a very publicity hungry lawman—and an inexperienced undercover cop keep Bill hopping. As the pain of loss filters through the community, vigilantes step up to do the sheriff’s job costing them a vital lead. Racing against time, Bill pursues a murderer and his own obsession with the truth becomes his worst enemy. A great addition to the A Posadas County Mystery series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Mystery.
HTML: Posadas County, New Mexico, has very few mean streets and no city-slick cop shop. But it has an earnest, elected Sheriff and his aging Undersheriff—William C. Gastner. Pushing sixty, widower Bill has no other life than in law enforcement—and doesn't want one, even if he's being nudged gently toward retirement. Then big time trouble strikes. A car full of teens, running from a stop by Deputy Torrez, goes airborne into a rocky outcrop, killing all five kids and revealing a package of cocaine under the seat. Has someone brought big-time crime to the county. Bill is now dealing with grieving parents—one of whom starts packing a gun. Then a second explosion of violence fells an undercover cop. Under pressure, the sheriff's department pulls together to make a formidable team. Its weak spot may be Bill whose mind is too tough to crumble but whose body, long mistreated, gradually succumbs to stress. Ignoring all advice—and sense—he pilots the case to a final dramatic, midair confrontation where the fate of the killer—and the cop—will be decided... .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This is a steadily paced story about a small town where everyone knows everyone and drugs are not common. The characters are likeable and mostly believable especially Gastner. He’s gruff and curmudgeonly with a bit of humor but he really cares about protecting the people in his town. The story kept my interest until the end when Gastner takes a big unnecessary risk that wasn’t believable. Overall, I still enjoyed this and will try another in the series. ( )
