Ada Reed stands in as sheriff of a backwoods county in Idaho when her husband is recalled to the Army. The war in Korea won't last but a couple of months, and it would be simpler this way-"less trouble," the businessmen whisper. But a young woman found beaten and drowned at a gold mine was not part of the bargain, nor was the disabled soldier who admits to the killing.

The locals say the victim was stepping out at night, and the town leaders want Ada to wrap things up. But she was not dressed to meet a lover, Ada can see. And from his wheelchair the soldier could not have inflicted the wounds that sent his wife into the pond; nor did he forge the chain of gold that sank her.

Autorenporträt
Roger Howell was raised in a somewhat migratory family and mostly in a score of houses in Boise, Idaho Falls, Aberdeen, Cobalt, Butte, La Push, and Baker. There were a couple of wall tents along the way, and a Studebaker for a very short time. Things settled down eventually, and he attended Boise State University, U.C. Santa Barbara, Gonzaga University, and Clemson University. Notwithstanding an international career as a geologist and environmental engineer, Howell has lived and worked all over the western U.S. He has walked the two-track roads and danced and drank and fished the length of the Rockies. Not coincidentally, his stories tend to be set in small towns in the west, and usually take place in the mid-century-a time of prosperity and innocence, but also of paranoia and prejudice. A father of two, he lives in Santa Fe now with his wife and their second-hand dog.
