LION IN WAIT by Dorothy Gardiner

LION IN WAIT

By

Publisher: Doubleday

In a small Western (Colorado) town, a lackadaisical but actually competent Sheriff faces a diversity of factors original in flavor -- a plush art center, a millionaire Easterner who sets everyone off beat, and a gentle lion escaped from a small traveling circus- which lead to a particularly vicious murder. Sheriff Moss Magill keeps everyone guessing until he has his answer, then takes a long chance and catches his criminals in the act. Smooth and competent.
