Breck's Quandary

This is a new book, about a sheriff in a small mountain town. It's a modern day crime story, set in Colorado. It was just published by Milford House Press (an imprint of Sunbury Press), and is available in soft cover and digital formats.

This story has been rolling around in the back of my mind for years. An old friend of mine used to be a deputy sheriff in several Colorado mountain towns, and once told me he got overtime just to hike around the National Forest on weekends, looking for illegal marijuana grow fields. It doesn't take much research to realize that Mexican drug cartels have been active all over the USA, too.

Here is the blurb from the back of the book:

Living in a remote mountain ski town called Quandary, Sheriff Breckenridge “Breck” Dyer has a lot of problems. The Sheriff's Office is broke. He’s down to one deputy. The cell phones barely work and he can’t even afford a decent patrol car. Seems like the city council keeps cutting and gutting his budget every time he turns around. But things can get worse and they do. A Mexican drug cartel called Los Equis sends two men to scout out the high country and squeeze out competitors. Caught up in a haze of drug dealers and dirty politics, Breck gets accused of corruption himself. Can he stop the illegal drug trade before anyone gets hurt—or winds up dead?
