The Trouble with Heather Holloway Carol Turner

Her first week on the job, and Marshal Beth Mayo is hit with a sex assault case. It's a nasty shock for the bucolic mountain town of Sugarloaf and for Mayo, who is still recovering from her husband's death. Her initial skepticism grows into disbelief over the victim's zany story, and she dismisses the case as a false report. Unfortunately, the same woman is soon discovered in the ruins of a ghost town, most definitely murdered. Mayo unravels the complex case through a parade of colorful suspects and misfit family members, all the while following a common thread from 150 years earlier, Colorado history's most notorious event, the Sand Creek Massacre.
