Sheriff Walt Fleming is responsible for the safety of the Sun Valley resort and normally things are quiet, but now Patrick Cutter has brought his International Corporation's meeting to the resort and along with it has come danger. Liz Shaler, a frequent Sun Valley visitor has come to announce her candidacy for President. She has Secret Service and private security but none of them want to listen to the hometown sheriff who knows that something is amiss.

The diligent efforts of Sheriff Fleming not only solve a murder but much more. The writing in the mystery was tight and intensive. The tension held throughout and was terribly interesting. A definite recommend!
