Swan Peak by James Lee Burke
4.0

When Louisiana Sheriff's Detective Dave Robicheaux and his friend Private Investigator Clete Pursell decide to spend a summer fly fishing in Montana they naturally find some plenty of crimes that need to be solved. The local Sheriff even welcomes their help for awhile but the more they stir up the less welcoming the Sheriff becomes. Among the people they encounter are a family of wealthy Texas oil millionaires who have bought up a big chunk of Montana ranch land and build large estates and a bunch of country musicians and ex or escaped cons. Also a dishonorably discharged soldier turned prison guard who is trying to track down one of those escaped convicts. Will Clete and Dave solve all this without being killed themselves? I like the setting in Montana around Missoula and Flathead Lake just as much as I like Burke's Louisiana settings.
