Description
Sheriff Lucian Wing's life is complicated. He faces numerous challenges in his rural Vermont county, including a demanding superior, a wayward wife, and a hard-drinking father-in-law. To make matters worse, he has to deal with a demented mother, overzealous deputies, a mysterious vigilante band, and a bloodthirsty local predator. Wing's job requires patience, knowledge, and a healthy dose of humor to navigate these problems. He must also find a way to honor "Old Number Five", an ambiguous ally who has become significant to him. With his wit and understanding of the human psyche, Wing tackles each challenge in his own unique way. This novel is a gripping blend of humour and suspense, offering a glimpse into small-town life with big-crime themes.
