Dead Man's Fancy

A riderless horse returns at sunset to the Culpepper Dude Ranch. The missing woman, known as the Fly Fishing Venus, is a red-haired river guide who lures clients the way dry flies draw trout. Sheriff Martha Ettinger follows hoof tracks to find one of the men under Nanika Martinelli?s spell impaled on the antler tine of a giant bull elk, a kill that?s been claimed by a wolf pack. An accident? With Sean Stranahan?s help, Ettinger follows the clues.
