title: Baer Facts
author: McMaken, Linda
description: Matt Baer, the newest Baer brother has just been elected the new sheriff of Sentinel, Wyoming. Matt is a man that wants to shake his past, a past that included Ben Childers - the most hated man in the county.
   The job should be easy, hand out a few speeding tickets, deal with the occasional petty theft, or a few underage teenagers drinking - a pretty calm job. Yeap, Matt was all set to be a 21st century Andy Taylor in a western version of Mayberry.
   Then he found himself in a deserted parking lot with a sword at his neck.
   Callenda Smith was dropped into Sentinel by the U.S. Marshal's as part of the Witness Protection Program. She is a ragin' Cajun with a fiery temper, and sister that needs duct taped to a chair to keep her out of trouble and a Russian mob hot on her trail.
