While investigating a murder, Leslie York, the resident deputy of the mining town of Copper Creek, finds herself stranded on the wrong side of the creek when it turns into a raging torrent. Others driven from their homes by the flood gather together, but one of them turns up dead.
When Leslie begins to suspect the victim's death was murder, she
suddenly finds herself in peril, struggling for life in the angry
floodwaters.
GUILT BY ASSOCIATION -- The author comments:
Hearing many stories about "the big flood" in Springville gave
me the idea for Guilt by Association. This also started
out as a Tempe story, but developed into a different tale though
also about a female deputy and her beginning relationship with the
local preacher. It also gave me a chance to explore what happens
when a group of "nice" people are stranded together with someone
they all have reason to dislike.
Review:
"In this taut, fast-moving novel, Meredith deftly describes the powerful
flood, presents sharply drawn characters, and keeps the suspense building.
At the same time she handles Leslie and Mark's warm but unsettled romance
with the tenderness it deserves."--Ilene Sirocca, THE RUNNING RIVER READER
