Ross Thomas: The Fourth Durango (USA 1990) From the Publisher: To make civic ends meet, Durango's beautiful and savvy mayor, B.D. Huckins, and her wily chief of police, Sid Fork, have gone into the hideout business-selling sanctuary to those whose former friends are trying to have them killed. Durango's newest hideout customer is the garrulous, brilliant Jack Adair, an ex-chief justice of a state supreme court and alleged bribe liker, who has just completed a prison stretch for tax evasion. He is quite convinced, and with good reason, that someone wants him dead. Adair dispatches his son-in-law, the quiet and careful Kelly Vines, to open negotiations for a hideout in the fourth Durango. It's shortly after these negotiations begin that the false priest arrives in town. And it's shortly after this that the killings begin. Ross Thomas: The Fourth Durango. New York: Mysterious Press / Warner Books, 1990, ISBN: 0445409150, 312 p., $4.95.
