An idyllic Sierra Mountain town, run by an Actor mayor, and two former LA cops as Chief and Assistant Chief of Police is beset with  racial tension caused by a murder and a marauding mountain lion.Really old scores are the backbone of the plot and are tied up very nicely at the end. I'm writing this review at 3:30 in the morning. I just finished this book. It is that good.I like police procedurals a lot and this is a well written one. I like wildlife officer fiction and this is well done on that front as well.I knew who dunnit, early in the book. I caught the earliest clues. I just didn't know why. I was pleasantly surprised by that plot point.The only quibble I have, I'd like to have known why the mountain lion was attacking people. The wildlife officer speculated age, but we were never told why. It would have been a nice tidying of the plots to know.This is a good read. Just don't let yourself get to the last quarter of the book in the evening, you won't be able to put it down until it's finished.
