The temperature in Midbury, Montana, is hovering at 40 below zero,
wolves are howling, and the town is smoldering with a strip-mining
debate that quickly exceeds the bounds of polite discussion. The
ranchers are not about to see their land destroyed, and as the
miners' trailers roll into town the tension rises. Sheriff Chick
Charleston has the task of calming the hotheads on both sides and
making sure the law is carried out. His earnest sidekick, Jason
Beard, is back with him, but the department is short-handed and
Jase is instructed to find another deputy. It says something about
Charleston's problems that the likeliest candidate is bantam Ike
Doolittle, up before Judge Bolster on a charge you wouldn't believe
if we told you. Ritual cattle killings and environmental
strip-mining hearings pale in significance when a murder takes
place at the Chicken Shack, the miners' hangout, launching Sheriff
Charleston and Jase on a new mystery chase that will keep readers
guessing.
