The Fourth Durango

Written by Ross Thomas

Narrated by Robert Culp

There's the Durango in Colorado, the one in Mexico, and the one in Spain; then there's the fourth one— the California town where the Franciscans forgot to fund a mission. Now, all it has going for it is the climate— and its hideout industry.

Kelly Vines, a disbarred attorney, and his father-in-law Jack Adair, a former judge just released from prison, are in the market for some isolation— since whoever put Adair in jail seems to have a continuing interest in putting him out of commission. Mayor B.D. (short for Barbara Diane) Huckins and Police Chief Sid Fork, who rolled into town together 22 years ago in a psychedelic bus, can arrange for the isolation— if the price is right.
