The lawman was captured by another man's wife!
Two high-profile guests die under suspicious circumstances at the Zimmermans' resort in Apache Springs, Arizona. Deputy U.S. Marshal Jed Mallory comes home to investigate, only to find that his old flame Gabriela - now Mrs. Brian Zimmerman - is one of the suspects.
Jed knows Gabriela's marriage is in trouble, but he also knows Gabriela is far too loyal to leave. Is her husband a legitimate murder suspect, or is Jed just hoping to prove him guilty in order to win Gabriela back?
Suddenly the lines between right and wrong become blurred, but Jed, a lawman to the end, determines to uncover the truth.

Molly Swanton and Carla Peltonen were born in in Aspen, Colorado, U.S.A. on January 22 and September 12. In the late 60s, both newly returned from bumming around the world, they met in Aspen in the Red Onion, an Old West saloon. They were both new brides, wet behind the ears. It was several years later that they dreamed up Lynn Erickson, the pseudonym a combination of their husbands' names. They had read every romance put out in the early 70s and started saying, "We can do better than this." Well, they couldn't, but what the heck? The wrote two fat novels before we chanced onto an agent and made a sale. His first words to them: "The manuscript is flawed, but..."
They published their first novel as Lynn Erickson in 1980. Their early books were historical romances, full of blood and guts and murder, then they turned to contemporary women's suspense. "We've set almost all of our books in Colorado, especially in Aspen, a town where the truth is usually stranger than fiction. Aspen is a character in our books, not just a setting. We love to drop inside jokes about the quirks and fancies of our hometown. The scenery truly is glorious, the mountains magnificent, the skiing and hiking and fishing and horseback riding legendary. We cover the arts, too - the world-renowned music festival, the shops full of museum-quality paintings and sculptures. Southwestern art is big, of course: paintings and pottery and Navajo rugs."

This was a pretty good book. There were plenty of emotions and good personalities overall. I was a little disappointed at the end, sometimes the craziness takes away from the feeling of closure. I mostly liked the characters but it seemed like mostly I just wanted to knock heads. I did like the plot, and the side characters were about 50/50 with me. Half I really liked an the others I really was aggravated then exasperated with. I loved the mythology and the NA connections though and I wished there was a little more of that included. Overall a good book for just reading, make sure it can take a little wear an tear though. I was seriously tempted to bang it against the wall and thump it a few times to get to some of the people in it. ;)

Storia senza infamia e senza lode, fortunatamente supportata dall'indagine per omicidio/incidente che ha dato un leggerissimo guizzo frizzo alla faccenda. Ma niente di che.
Finale abbastanza scontato e facilmente dimenticabile.
3 stelle molto tirate.
