Mystery
The last time anyone in Cottonwood County, Wyoming saw
Sheriff's Deputy Foster Redus, he was bloody, cussing, and
driving his pimped-out pickup into the November darkness. A
week before Christmas, rancher Thomas David Burrell was
arrested for the assault and charged with the deputy's
murder, since neither Redus nor his truck had been seen
since the Monday after Thanksgiving. The prosecutor later set Burrell free due to insufficient
evidence, but with the whole county still suspecting him of
the crime, his ex-wife refused to let their daughter visit
him anymore. "You've got to prove my Daddy didn't kill anybody," second
grader Tamantha Burrell tells KWMT-TV's consumer affairs
reporter, New York transplant Elizabeth Danniher. "Now wait a minute . . . " the startled journalist begins. "You're the 'Helping Out' lady," Tamantha insists. "You have
to help me." Until a few months ago, Elizabeth "E.M." Danniher
investigated high crimes and national cases. Now, a messy
divorce from her network-TV-exec husband, combined with her
no-longer-quite-perky-enough sex appeal, has banished her to
Wyoming, where she has to fulfill the remainder of her
contract. She handles the "Helping Out" segment at Sherman,
Wyoming's only news station. Her latest assignment:
assisting an elderly woman who wants her faulty toaster
replaced. But Tamantha needs her, and so Elizabeth goes back on the
crime beat, trying to unravel the mystery of the missing
deputy and track down a killer who intends to make sure she
doesn't live to go Live At Five with the scoop. P. A. McLinn, after spending twenty-plus years as an editor
for the Washington Post, now writes full-time. Her books
have topped bestseller lists and been translated into more
than twenty languages.
