Murder in Jackson Hole

The pleasant atmosphere at a dude ranch darkens with the unwelcome appearance of an ex-Hollywood western star who enjoys causing trouble. Money issues, secrets from the past, and a star-struck young woman provide plenty of motives for the Sheriff when a murder occurs.




"The dude ranch was well-run-the scenery was magnificent-but suggestions of tragedy were in the clear mountain air. The appearance of Spike Noland, "Lothario of the Lariat" and ex-Hollywood actor, brought to light secrets hidden for many years. An old murder charge in which the ranch owner had been involved draws guests and friends into the circle of events, as Noland lives up to his reputation as a 'bad' performer. A smoothly written mystery, its plot is completely developed and its characters are neither bizarre nor trite." (F. A. P., Rochester, NY, Democrat and Chronicle, 1955)
