Sheriff Jim Weber is the central character of Nick Russell’s Big Lake mystery series. As the top law enforcement officer in a small Arizona mountain town, Weber handles every type of crime that comes his way. Over twenty-seven books, he has dealt with blizzards, lynchings, abductions, scandals, and worse, all while maintaining his role as a fixture of the Big Lake community.
Weber is a practical, grounded protagonist who knows his town and its people well. His familiarity with Big Lake’s residents is both an asset and a complication, since every case involves people he has known for years. Russell uses Weber as a steady anchor across a long-running series that has been publishing since 2011.
