And Gayla looks good for taking the fall. As for

been more babysitter than crime-solver. Then
the county’s biggest murder in a century happens
on his watch, and the Viet Nam vet-turned-sheriff
realizes he and a grumpy recluse are all that is
keeping a fragile stranger from being railroaded
right into prison.
