This is an awesome novella. The protagonist is surly, foul-mouthed, alcoholic, almost-washed-up cop with a nearly saintly wife. The beginning of the story focuses on his actions as a rule-book flaunting, go by your gut California cop who gets in a lot of trouble for following said gut. Eventually, this leads him to return to his hometown in Nevada, where he is offered the job of Sheriff. He settles in to this semi-bucolic life, only to find that perhaps what he left in California didn't stay in California.EXCELLENT plot. Scary as all get out. The twist at the end was seriously wicked. 4 1/2 stars.
