Killer Weekend

The #1 New York Times bestseller returns with a completely new
setting-the magnificent natural beauty of Sun Valley, Idaho-and a
heart-stopping story in which a local sheriff struggles to protect a
controversial politician from the elegant plan of a hired assassin.
Eight
years ago, in Sun Valley-snowcapped playground for the wealthy and
ambitious-all that stood between U.S. Attorney General Elizabeth Shaler
and a knife-wielding killer was local patrolman Walt Fleming. Now Liz
Shaler returns to Sun Valley as the keynote speaker of billionaire
Patrick Cutter's world-famous media and communications conference, a
convergence of the richest, most powerful business tycoons. The
controversial attorney general is expected to announce her candidacy for
president. It's a media coup for Cutter-but a security nightmare for
Walt Fleming, now the county sheriff.
As the Cutter conference
gets under way, authorities learn of a confirmed threat on Shaler's
life, and various competing interests-the Secret Service, the FBI,
Cutter's own security forces -begin jockeying for jurisdiction. Amid the
conference's opulent extravagances, Walt is suddenly shaken by an
apparent murder, his nephew's arrest, and a haunting legacy from his
family's past. The clock ticks down toward Shaler's keynote address as
we track the chilling precision of her assassin's preparations.
