The trouble includes the brutal murder of a man in the witness protection program, the shooting of a sheriff's deputy, and the arson-fueled destruction of Smoke Tree City Hall. Hauke Hunter, a lateral transfer from the San Diego Sheriff's Department also arrives with the north winds, as does a troubled and troublesome orphan from the Big Smoky Valley in Nevada,

As one of his deputies lies near death, Captain Carlos Caballo, known as Horse throughout the Lower Colorado River Basin, has his hands full. Crime Fiction Suspense Small Town & Rural Crime Fiction Mystery Genre Fiction Spirituality

The second of the Gary George titles I've listened to. Definitely enjoyed the character development, the story line and information about the land. Joe is a great character. Only issue is the virtual voice. Definitely worth a listen.

Great with exception for the virtual voice

Honestly, don’t know how the story is, I couldn’t get by the narration. Don’t waste your time.

The AI narrator makes the story unlistenable
