Book
The Peaceful Valley crime wave / Bill Pronzini.
Northwest Montana, 1914. It's a good life for the folks in Peaceful Valley and the town of Peaceful Bend, in no small part due to the efforts of Sheriff Lucas Monk. He earned both the badge and the respect the same way: honest, fair, hard work, and, if need be, the use of his fists and sidearm. Until now, he hasn't had to deal with any serious offenses in many years. But then the mysterious theft of a wooden cigar store Indian sets off a sudden weeklong crime wave. Beautiful but wild teenager Charity Axthelm goes missing; gossip-mongering Reba Purvis's housekeeper is poisoned by a glass of cyanide-laced buttermilk that Reba is sure was meant for her; and other misdeeds begin to pile up at an alarming rate. Cold-blooded murder and the threat of more violence make matters even more tense. Only dogged determination and shrewd detective work by Lucas Monk can solve each of the crimes and restore the peace.
