Description
"You haven't been west in any meaningful sense until you've been to Blue Deer, Montana . . . Rekindles our delight in Ms. Harrison's offbeat sensibility and tart regional voice." -The New York Times Book Review
"What seems characteristic of the best crime writing is surpassingly true of Jamie Harrison: she is creating entertainment and diversion, but she is also writing social history as accurate in its essences as a road map and generating a most admirable work of literature." -Los Angeles Times
Love and rodeos, land and greed. The inhabitants of Blue Deer are gearing up for the annual Fourth of July rodeo, with tourists descending upon the town "in a kind of berserk westward ho." When the bodies of an environmental lawyer and his lover are found bobbing inside a tent in a reservoir, Jules at first assumes jealousy, but follows the evidence through the intricacies of mining law, rodeos, and explosions, leading to a proposed resort in the Crazy Mountains.
Going Local continues the exploits of Sheriff Jules Clement in this exciting installment of the critically acclaimed mystery series.
