The Fourth Durango

Ross Thomas: The Fourth Durango (USA 2003)

From the Publisher:
The Fourth Durango is not your ordinary Durango. It's not in Spain, or Mexico, and it's not a ski town in the Colorado Rockies, although Durangos do exist in all of those places. This Durango has an industry, albeit a rather odd one-it is a hideout business, a place where people pay to find sanctuary from former friends and associates who are either trying to kill them, or have them killed. Into this Durango comes a former chief justice of a state supreme court, followed by son-in-law Kelly Vines to act as his emissary to the beautiful and savvy mayor. Following them come a false priest, and a run of murders. It takes a Ross Thomas to stir these characters into a witty and ingenious mix readers will not be able to -and certainly would not want to-resist.

The Fourth Durango

Ross Thomas: The Fourth Durango (USA 1990)

From the Publisher:
The first Durango is in Spain; the second in Mexico; the third is a ski town in the mountains of Colorado. But the fourth Durango is a small, isolated beach city in southern California with a population of 9,861, no industry to speak of, and some magnificent weather its citizens can't eat or pay their bills with.

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.
