In the most
recent title High Road (Cross Atlantic Publishing, 2021) the district
attorney from neighboring Crow County asks for the loan of Wolf from the Byron
County Sheriff’s Department to investigate the murder of the only son of Crow
County’s sheriff Clark Mustaine.
Mustaine and
Wolf have a history from playing high school football years ago and both have
long memories. Mustaine, physically large, was a bully as a teenager and he’s a
bully as an adult. The loss of his son has pushed him over the edge and he
assaults a potential witness. The removal of Mustaine from the case is
imperative but no one can reason with him. The DA hopes that Wolf can make him
see the need to back off.
Wolf
reluctantly agrees to assist. Mustaine is overtly uncooperative and verbally
combative. He focuses, with no evidence, on two young women who were in the
same bar as his son just before his death. Wolf not only has an investigation
to lead but he has to watch Mustaine to keep him from overstepping again.
I am happy to
have discovered this new-to-me small town police procedural series. This entry
has an original plot and some appealing characters. Readers looking for a new
author to binge might add Carson to their list. Fans of Western police
procedurals and small town mysteries will especially want to consider these
books.
