No Comfort in Victory — Gregory Bean

HE LEFT THE BIG CITY TO BE A WYOMING SHERIFF. WIDE OPEN SPACES. HOME ON THE RANGE. MURDER IN THE CORRAL.

Harry Starbranch saw a lot of corpses during his years as a homicide detective with the Denver police. Fed up and worn down, he went in search of the good life, or at least a better one than the broken marriage and bad dreams he left in Colorado. He never expected to see a triple murder in the sleepy Wyoming town of Victory, population 650, in the foothills of the Snowy Range. .

If the motive for the brutal crime --cattle rustling--was a new one for a city cop, tracking a murderer was all too familiar. With the help of Victory's lone police officer, Frankie Tall Bull, a 300- pound, full-blooded Teton Sioux, Harry goes looking-for the dark corners, marginal lives, and criminal minds that will lead him to the culprit...or get him killed.
