Out of Season (Worldwide Library Mysteries) Book

The already small Posadas County Police Department is about the take a big hit. Undersheriff Bill Gastner knows that four members of their force are about to quit. Then the plane with Sheriff Martin Holman and a companion aboard crashes in a nearby prairie, killing both men on board. Questions arise concerning the crash: why were the Sheriff and his brother-in-law, the pilot, flying at night -- in bad weather, no less -- when the Sheriff himself hated to fly? There are several indications that the Sheriff might have been checking out a lead on a case, the most important of which is the bullet found embedded in the chest of the pilot that seems to have been shot from the ground. One witness to the troubled plane's demise and a roll of undeveloped film used in the plane before it went down are the few clues that might allow Bill to solve the case. Havill does it again with his latest entry in this strong mystery series featuring the authentic flavor of the New Mexico locale combined with fine detective work by everyone's favorite aging law enforcement officer, Bill Gastner.Read More
