This is the first book by Joseph Flynn that I have read, and it won't be the last. From the gruesome discovery of the murdered minister at the beginning of the book to the surprising revelation of the murderer at the end, it is a beautifully executed mystery. There are no shortage of suspects, and they are all guilty of something, just not the murder that Ron Ketchum is out to solve. Add a killer cougar into the mix, and you've got a story that grabs you from the first page and never lets go.The protagonist, Ron Ketchum, is a retired LAPD officer who is now police chief is a small town where the worst thing that normally happens is jaywalking. He's put into the eye of the perfect storm in this book such that his own complicated past becomes part of the  national media circus surrounding a very high profile, very unusual murder. I really enjoyed Ron as a character and will be reading the next book in the series to see what happens to him next.
