Contents: From the jacket

Doug Bard has been a detective with the sheriff's department in La Graciosa, California, long enough to know the score. Now that an influx of upscale chain stores and luxury housing has turned sleepy Chumash County into a boom town, the lat thing anyone wants is crime casting as shadow over the prosperity. But Bard also knows he's not the kind of man who can write off a double fatality as a tragic accident -- especially when all his instincts tell him it was murder.
