In rural Coldwater County, a hundred and fifty miles east of the Cascade Mountain Range, County Sheriff Tate Plummer and his friend, County Health Services Social Worker Gary Mazur, confront murders most foul. Mazur narrates their stories, bringing an unusual perspective -- and the application of chaos theory -- to police procedures and county politics in their remote mountain valley.
The stories are in a progressive order, indicated by the alphabetical order of their titles. At this time, there are two books in the series.

Rather than send the man to the state hospital, which is what I should have done, given his suicidal behavior, instead I chose a more self-indulgent course. As the police began to suspect my complicity, I cursed myself for my arrogance.
An unexpected challenger joins the sheriff's race, a murdered woman is found to have a surprising list of paramours, the implications sunder friendships, as a lawsuit threatens to tear the Health Center apart, and the County Administrator begins to turn the screws.
