The retired sheriff and his fishing buddy need to go out of town at the request of the governor and finds out the who but also the why for all the sudden murders in Farmington. He also learns that he'd rather be at home and his wife feels the same. Some areas of the book seemed disconnected until I could see it all coming together. Loved it!

The investigators are more than they appear to be. One is a former sheriff and the other snoop is a degreed puzzle. They have personal lives which impact their current assignments more than usual because the work involves them travelling around the state on a complicated job for the Attorney General and even the governor. There's crooked cops, a few murders, drug trafficking and some really sticky entanglements. Some areas of the book seemed disconnected until I could see it all coming together. Loved it!

Good fun read for mystery buffs and jail nurses alike. Pacheco retired as sheriff from one locality and planned to take up fishing and being a kind of recluse. As a consequence he met a fishing mentor who enjoyed making jokes about his ethnicity (like Pop used to do about Swedes and Norwegians) and the guy who owned the bait shop. Both of these guys were not as laid back as they seemed either. Pacheco got a kind of wake-up call when a new dog adopted him and there was a mystery about what happened to the owner who was well known in the show dog circuit. The plot is sound and the hard look at politics and local law enforcement rings true. All of the characters certainly are and seem like guys I used to work alongside. I really enjoyed the read!
Narrator Scott R. Pollak is very versatile and really adds good things to the book.
