Once a rising star in the history department of a private Montana college, he can no longer teach effectively, his fiancée drifts away, and he retreats to an inherited home in the mountains.
To augment meager disability benefits, his recently acquired observation skills to cope with deafness tips odds in his favor at poker tables. Polishing his old abilities with handguns earns him prize money in shooting contests. It all works to build a knack for getting to the bottom mysteries involving firearms. He's noticed by a group of elderly gentlemen in law enforcement who are dissatisfied with directs taken by local police in the shooting death of a popular longtime sheriff. They hire Les to snoop.
His mission is to probe a crime scene already in jurisdictional dispute by city, county, and federal reservation authorities. His assistants provided by the group of good ol' boys are an interpreter for the deaf and a rookie deputy sheriff, both with their own challenges.
Will Les catch the culprit? Or is he the next target?

I've always wanted to be a writer. I started reading James Patterson's books, and he was the one who made me want to be a writer like him. After that, I was writing every day. I never knew my dream would come true. I'm a memoir writer with my second memoir published. It's a very inspiring story about never giving up on your dreams. I'm working on my third memoir now called Miracle Baby, about my baby growing up.
