Rainbow Falls, by Keith Charles Koski (1950-2006), is a fast-paced, international murder mystery that gracefully combines heart and humor into an intriguing tale of good versus evil. Small-town values and fair play are tested in this laugh-out-loud funny tale. The characters are genuine and richly colorful, and the story is overflowing with old-world charm. Crime rarely rears its ugly head in Rainbow Falls, a remote town in the wilderness of northwest Ontario. After several citizens are involved in a series of suspicious deaths, Chief of Police Jackpine Keating calls upon his longtime friend for some sage advice. Alistair Boone, a country boy turned advertising agency entrepreneur, leaves the big city of New York to help his friend make sense of the crimes-real or imagined. The plot thickens after Alistair discovers that the owner of the nearby fishing lodge is running the lodge as a drug-smuggling operation. When the local Ontario Provincial Police refuse to investigate, Jackpine Keating secures help from a small posse of townspeople and local Ojibway to help him gather proof. The combination of guts, instincts, Ojibway lore, and Jackpine's slap shot collectively help the gang get answers. "An enjoyable escape well-suited to a couple of evenings by the fire or a few days on the beach. Koski's posthumous novel, a madcap debut thriller involving murder, mayhem, and endearing macho heroes shows sparks of what might have become a promising new career for the author." --Kirkus Reviews
Autorenporträt
Rainbow Falls was written by Keith Charles Koski (1950-2006) around the year 1990. He penned this book in the year following his departure as an executive with the Bic Corporation. Rainbow Falls is an aggregate of all the characters Keith knew in his life-the war heroes and bushmen who fished and hunted with him as a child and young man; the fellow fishing guides, native Indians, and lodge owners and guests he came to know guiding in the Northwest Territories during summer breaks from university; and the business associates, executives, and advertising geniuses he hired and engaged during the fifteen years that he worked his way from a salesman in the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada, to vice president of North America with the Bic Corporation.
