Tenoclock scholar Book

What happens when a small resort community in the Rockies suddenly becomes a lure for Hollywood stars and the tourists who come to gawk at them? In Tenoclock, Colorado, the town fathers became conscious of image, so they named Johnelle "Johnnie" Baker sheriff. Then, they did everything they could to keep her from doing her job. But in a one-week period, an African lion walked down Main Street, a fire razed the courthouse annex, killing a watchman and destroying virtually all of the county's documents and land records, some south-end sheepmen swore they felt the earth tremble in the night, and a stranger was found by the side of the road, killed by an antique arrow driven through his throat. And when a man wearing flippers and a wetsuit stopped outside the bar, Tenoclock's leaders knew image was the least of their problems.
