When a movie company arrives in Kanab to make a film about the legendary disappearance of artist Everett Ruess, a banker is shot dead in a motel parking lot. Sheriff Jared Buck—a widower who roams the red-rock canyons with his malamute—must untangle ranchers, Navajo neighbors, con-artist filmmakers, and a shadowy bank while chasing an old lion hunter who may know what really happened to Ruess in 1934. A regional mystery steeped in desert country and quiet grief.

  • A real Utah legend reimagined: what really happened to the vanished artist Everett Ruess?
  • A widower sheriff who'd rather roam the canyons than chase Hollywood money men
  • Two mysteries collide—a modern murder and a 70-year-old disappearance
  • Authentic southern Utah: slot canyons, ranchers, Navajo neighbors, and a killer who gets away
“Some mysteries never die, Sheriff Jared Buck mused as he watched the limousine pull into the Kane County parking lot.”

Perfect for a reader who loves regional Western mysteries and southern Utah canyon country, and enjoys a thoughtful small-town sheriff protagonist with an LDS cultural backdrop.
