Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st edition, fine i fine dust jacket. The fifth and last of the Blackwater Bay mysteries, set in a small town located Michigan and featuring Sheriff Matt Gabriel.

But at least one person believes he is innocent-and has enough money to anonymously finance a strong defence. The election hots up, tempers become frayed, a small riot occurs-and then somebody else is killed. Suddenly, Matt Gabriel himself is a suspect...
