Product Description

Perched at the foot of Montana's Crazy Mountains, Blue Deer is a small town boasting an uneasy mix of longtime residents and hotshots from both coasts looking to possess their own piece of the Big Sky. Local sheriff Jules Clement manages the town's tensions fairly well...until someone blasts a hole in screenwriter George Blackwater's office window--and in George himself.

As more of the town's prominent citizens start turning up dead, the pressure on Jules keeps rising. It starts to look like this rookie sheriff may not survive the next election...if he lives to see it.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Set in small-town Montana, Harrison's debut mystery concerns the possibly deadly tensions between local residents and refugees from Hollywood.

From Library Journal
First novelist Harrison offers a microcosm set in Blue Deer, Montana, where a murder attempt shatters the usual calm. Jules Clement, archeologist-turned-sheriff, eyes the crime scene and then questions the wounded victim?philandering, alcoholic screenwriter George Blackwater. The Northern Exposure-like list of suspects includes his wild-eyed wife, his best-selling author brother, and a peevish ex-employee. When Jules subsequently finds the wife's body, the list grows longer. Harrison's stylistic prose, studded with spots of color and embellished by sometimes humorous characterization, lacks consistency and turns sluggish. For the persistent reader.
