Publisher's Synopsis
His town: Grizzleton. His name: Bear. His secret: he's a grizzly bear wearing a sheriff's uniform ... but doesn't realise.Collecting books 9 - 12 of the Sheriff Grizzly series. Join Bear, Deputy Rake and Doc Rum Tinkly as they protect Grizzleton (population 36) from outlaws, varmints and strange animal folk who turn up from time to time.First, there's a stranger in town - a womanising card player who has his sights set on Doc Tinkly. Watching Tinkly fall for his charms, Deputy Rake has to man up, dress a little better and learn poker in order to impress her. Being Rake, however, he drunkenly climbs through her bedroom window instead.Then, our trio are helping folk in the aftermath of a massive earthquake. The quake could have been caused by movement of tectonic plates, but folk prefer to believe the hairy walrus of neighbouring Truespire Peak is angry and needs human sacrifices if it's to be appeased.After this, a giant ant soldier that's been lying dormant for years rises and causes trouble, while Bear no longer knows who to trust any more. The result is that the whole of Grizzleton is destroyed.Which brings us to the final part, where Bear's living out a strange reality, evicting single mothers and collecting rent from people in London. He questions reality, fantasy and everything in between. He also manages a shoot-out with the series villain, who's finally revealed.This volume (thankfully) concludes the whole sorry mess.
