Slope: A Colorado Mystery Released By RoseDog Books

Slope: A Colorado Mystery, a new book by Joseph McHale, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Police Sergeant Tom Ketchum pulled the pin and left the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles to retire on Colorado's Western Slope. He took an easy job as a lawyer's private investigator. Life was good at $50 an hour plus expenses. The tranquility was wonderful at Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Vail, and Beaver Creek. One Sunday morning, it changed when the Sanderson night patrolman was gunned down in the city manager's office. The police chief admitted to the shooting, and this began one of the most complex federal criminal investigations in Colorado history. Tom Ketchum was right in the middle of it.
