Sheriff in Nevada Books

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has the same mission as the NYPD and LAPD: protect the public, investigate crimes, and arrest lawbreakers. The difference is Sheriff Maggie Doane has six deputized officers to patrol hundreds of square miles of remote Nevada mountains and deserts. After dodging a close attempt on her own life, finding the bad guy takes all her willpower and attention, despite the distraction of a sick father and intrusions of old boyfriends. When one of the richest men in the state snaps his fingers, how will she respond? These and other challenges await in "A Sheriff in Nevada." "Sheriff Maggie Doane is a workaholic, and the fact that she has to keep an eye on her willfully incompetent team of deputies doesn't help matters. Her best deputy is her partner, a dog named Max. The department is underfunded and understaffed, and promising new hire Cheryl "Charlie" Stone arrives just in time to help solve a brutal murder. Set away from the bright lights of Las Vegas and in the fictional rural area of Jefferson County, this story has some surprising twists and characters you'll want to keep following." Susie D., Red Adept Editing "A well-paced mystery led by an immensely likable heroine." Virge B., Red Adept Editing
