From The Back Of The Book:
In Aspen, ex-hippies drive Volvos, ski bums cut million-dollar deals, and Sheriff Kurt Muller is the law: a single father with a checkered past and the notion that right and wrong still matter. But one evening, against his better judgment, Muller spends the night comforting an old flame, a reclusive heiress named Nicole Bauer who's convinced her ex-lover, the 60s blues idol Rocky Rhodes, is threatening to kill her. Kurt doesn't believe her story, for good reason: twenty years earlier, Rocky's body was found on the grounds of the Bauer mansion, and Nicole was charged with his murder.
PARIAH

But the next morning Nicole is found dead, and Kurt is a prime suspect. To clear his name and find her killer, he begins his own investigation, digging through the shady profiles of Nicole's jet-set contemporaries, and the mystery of Rocky's death. Amid the sin, sorrow, and secrets of the living, Kurt stumbles across a mysterious woman once called Pariah--who hides her past, a butterfly tattoo, and the key to Nicole's final hours.
Review:

Aspen Sheriff Kurt Muller has his hands full in this third book of the series. He's facing a recall vote brought by an ambitious local politician. His ex-lover, Nicole says she has been receiving death threats from her long-dead husband, rock guitar legend Rocky Rhodes. Nicole claims that only Rocky could know some of the intimate details that appear in the letters she has recently received. Due to a Bachelor Auction, Kurt has once again spent the evening with Nicole and a few hours later, she is found dead and her fatal plunge off the deck of her mountainside home is eerily reminiscent of the way Rocky died. Others die as well, as Kurt searches for Pariah, a rock groupie who may be the key to the case. Muller's search produces a fine mix of a book, replete with sad, aging hippies, former freaks who have evolved into rich yuppies, and a community trending in the same direction.
EXCELLENT
