by Chinle Miller (Author)
When Utah Sheriff Bud Shumway and his friend Mayor Howie decide to get out of town and go camping, they have no idea what kind of mayhem and intrigue they're getting themselves into, from the death of the camp-host's wife to finding rare jewels in the desert. Having their friends Shorty and Doc along just adds to the chaos, especially since they have a strange prescience that Doc is about to die.
Throw in a geocacheing dog, stolen cactii and dinosaur tracks, a murderous hawk, a ghost mountain lion, weird hoodoos, a moveable feast, dangerous river rapids, blizzards, talk of plot twists, and an unusual type of cafe, and who could ask for more intrigue and adventure in the untrammeled wilds of northern Utah's Dinosaur National Monument?
This is book #19 in the Bud Shumway Mystery Series.
