In Harm's Way (Walt Fleming #4)

In Harm's Way by Ridley Pearson is the forth book in his Walt Fleming series about a Blaine County Idaho sheriff.

Fiona Kenshaw has been in Ketchum for a few years now. She is a fishing guide, photographer, part-time deputy and crime photographer for Sheriff Walt Fleming. Though they have known each other for a while, Walt knows nothing of Fiona's past.

When Fiona rescues a kid from the river, she begs Walt to pressure the newspaper to keep from running her picture. But the picture runs. Now Fiona is scared of something but will not let Walt help her.

When a house is broken into, the sheriff's department begins a hunt for a mountain man. Each summer the area has many people living in the state and national parks and someone is breaking into homes to find food and clothing.

Both story lines may be connected as Pearson's other series main character, Lou Boldt - Seattle police detective, comes to Sun Valley to question two people in a murder case.

Pearson fans will love the overlap of his two most loved characters. Mystery and suspense fans will enjoy a complex mystery. And fans of the Walt Fleming series will rejoice in the relationship between two of the characters finally getting past the awkward stage.
