Black Hearts And Slow Dancing

Description for BLACK HEARTS AND SLOW DANCING by Earl W Emerson:

Mac Fontana is content being fire chief in a small town in Washington state. He's not looking for trouble -- and he's certainly not looking for murder. But, as acting deputy sheriff, that's exactly what he finds.

The investigation of the gruesome death of a firefighter on the nearby Seattle force brings Mac into the red-hot center of big-city corruption and greed. As powerful tempers blaze and the intrigues flare up, solving the crime may just cost Mac his life.

This is #1 in A Mac Fontana Mystery series.
