Now Available: WINGBEAT, the Latest in the Popular Deputy Tempe Crabtree Mystery Series

Wingbeat by Marilyn Meredith, ISBN # 1-891940-08-2, Golden Eagle Press, $7.95

(PRWEB) June 11, 2004 -- Tempe Crabtree, resident deputy of Bear Creek, a small community in the southern Sierra, once again finds herself torn between loyalty to her minister husband, her job, and her Native American heritage.

Wing Beat is the fourth installment in the Tempe Crabtree mystery series. Marilyn Meredith once again easily transfers readers to the foothills of Bear Creek, a quiet, wooded town in the southern Sierra. And once again Deputy Tempe Crabtree has her hands full.

You would think a small town deputy married to a small town pastor would be the perfect way to spend your life. Instead, Crabtree suspects newcomers have set up shop in the mountains in order to grow marijuana. Working with narcotics, she tries to assemble enough probable cause to have a search warrant issued. When the body of a woman is discovered in an unmarked grave, Crabtree in sucked into the midst of a murder investigation. To make matters worse, a man, fitting her husband's description, and driving a vehicle identical to her husband's is wanted for exposing himself to young girls in public. Determined to believe her husband is innocent, it becomes more difficult as all the evidence points in his direction, especially when people in town are convinced he is guilty.

Like the previous books in the series, Wing Beat is a fast, enjoyable read. The characters are well-defined, the plot carefully structured and the narrative swift and engaging. I am a long time fan of Meredith and look forward to additional installments in the popular series!"
