Big Lake Ranger

It’s Fall, the special time of year the locals in the little Arizona mountain town of Big Lake call the sweet season between when the summer visitors have gone back to their homes in the crowded desert cities and when the snow has accumulated enough to draw the ski crowd. Things are moving at a slower pace for now as people draw a deep breath and recoup their energy and sanity from the hectic summer just behind them.But when three mischievous teenagers looking for adventure find the body of a murdered Forest Ranger, they get much more than they bargained for. Soon Sheriff Jim Weber and FBI Special Agent Larry Parks find themselves deep in an investigation into the life of a woman who everyone seemed to respect and admire and who didn’t have an enemy in the world. Or did she?Suddenly they have a long list of suspects, including a co-worker who had mysteriously developed a bad attitude toward the dead women he had once praised, a misogynistic summer volunteer with the Forest Service, a woman who seems to be at war with the world, and a hate-filled young man more twisted than anyone ever imagined. As more FBI agents come to town to help with the investigation, startling secrets are revealed, forcing Weber to wonder if he did ever really know the dead woman he once considered a friend.Nick Russell’s latest Big Lake book includes enough twists and turns to keep you guessing who the killer is, along with the latest nonsense by the town’s former mayor, just to make Weber’s life more complicated, and a violent courtroom showdown that will change the life of at least one Big Lake character forever.One reviewer has referred to the Big Lake mystery series as “Mayberry Meets Twin Peaks.” It’s a combination of humor and intrigue that launched New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell’s first Big Lake book into Amazon’s Top 100 Paid Kindle books for over 78 days, and Big Lake Ranger, the twenty-first book in this popular series, is sure to be a hit, too!Read more
