    About this ebook

    Sheriff Blue Smith hopes to spend his remaining days at his favorite fishing hole. He's slow and his eyesight is not good, but he presides over a peaceful county. But then he finds the body of a stranger at his fishing hole, and soon discovers that someone is fishing for old Blue. And it proves to be someone he knows, someone who wants to hurt Blue and his family. The old sheriff's up against a ruthless younger man, and all Blue has going for him is an understanding of human nature. He hopes that's enough.
