At a wellseasoned sixtynine, Sheriff Bill Gastner knows his Posadas, New Mexico, territory as well as he understands the foibles of the human condition. So when a backhoe crushes a man to death, itтАЩs more instinct than fact that leaves him feeling thereтАЩs more to this тАЬaccidentтАЭ than meets the eye. Adding to his problems, anonymous letters charging his best deputy, Tom Pasquale, with hustling Mexican nationals for cash, are being dispatched around town. Gastner takes this one personally; heтАЩs fond of his deputy, but he does want the truth. He also knows itтАЩs an election year and dirty politics can happen anywhere. So can murder. Soon heтАЩs got not just one, but two dead bodies. And a strong desire to make sure that when he does retire...itтАЩs not by way of a wellaimed bullet.
