Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming returns in this
high-intensity thriller from New York Times–
bestselling author Ridley Pearson.
Sun Valley,
Idaho—playground of the wealthy and politically connected—is
home to an annual wine auction that attracts high rollers
from across the country, and Blaine County Sheriff Walt
Fleming is the one who must ensure it goes off without a
hitch. The world’s most elite wine connoisseurs have
descended on Sun Valley to taste and bid on the world’s best
wines, including three bottles claimed to have been a gift
from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams. With sky-high prices
all but guaranteed for these historic items, it’s no wonder
a group of thieves is out to steal them. Walt is responsible
for all aspects of the glitzy event, from security of the
dignitaries to the physical safety of the auction site to
the transportation and safeguard of the wines
themselves.
Walt is enjoying a rare afternoon of
freedom, fly-fishing with his nephew, Kevin, when a passing
truck catches his eye— his suspicions throwing him headlong
into the discovery of a complicated plan to steal the rare
wine. When a bomb detonates just as the auction revs up, the
investigation explodes as well, pulling Walt in a dozen
different directions. It seems Walt is caught in the middle
of a heist of epic proportions—and not the heist he had
prepared for—all orchestrated by the ingenious mind of
Christopher Cantell, a man who appears to have covered
everything, including the way Walt’s own sheriff’s office
will react.
