About This Book

A forest ranger is found shot in his mountain cabin, and Sheriff Lafe Ogden with his deputies follows a trail of physical clues to unravel the crime. The investigation tracks blood drops into the surrounding woods, inspects darkroom gear and animal photographs, notes an unexplained telephone call and a smouldered fire, and confronts local tensions over grazing and rustling. Suspicion centers on Otis Carr as the case tightens into a compact Western mystery that blends methodical detection with the isolated, law-and-order challenges of the rangeland.
