Killer Weekend (Walt Fleming #1)

Killer Weekend is the first book in Ridley Pearson's Walt Fleming series. Walt is the sheriff of Blaine County, Idaho - the area around the Sun Valley ski resort.

Eight years ago, as a rookie, Walt saved the life of Elizabeth Shaler. Her family has had property in Sun Valley for generations, but her home is in New York City. She is the current Attorney General of New York and back in Sun Valley to announce her bid for President of the United States.

Though she brings a team of FBI and Secret Service with her to Sun Valley, Walt is the local officer and will be included in any protection detail. When credible threats on Shaler's life are discovered, Walt will do everything in his power to save her life once again. But the hired hit man he is going up against is a professional.

Combining a great Sheriff, politics, too many different law enforcement agencies, big egos, and a suspenseful plot, Pearson is a master storyteller.
