Bad Wind Blowing — Peter Brandvold

A gold-seeking drifter... A beautiful, small town sheriff... An ancient Indian curse. Clay Carmody wants nothing more than to join his partner, Nathan Laroque, and dig for gold on the rocky slopes of Poudre Canyon. But paranormal activity, western-style, gets in the way. Years before, a robbed grave released a curse on the Canyon and on the town of Camp Hawkins, Colorado. Snakes slithering out of privies, grisly deaths, men and women driven to murder, and dead men coming back to life are just a few of the inexplicable happenings Clay encounters as he waits for Nathan to arrive. Clay also meets the sexy, gorgeous Claudine Bridger, sheriff of Camp Hawkins. A rare bit of luck in more ways that one... Clay, Claudine, a determined young schoolteacher with a guilty conscience, and an old Indian Shaman go on a demon hunt up the canyon â€" a wild, sexy, bloody, terrifying, western adventure like none you've ever read before!
