Produktbeschreibung
In 1920, Rocky Mountain National Park is only five years old. With the Great War finally over and the automobile readily available, many Americans are motoring to the National Parks for vacation. Ranger McIntyre's main job is to protect the wilderness from the campers and sightseers. But a body, clad only in underpants, is discovered floating beneath a waterfall. Shortly thereafter a second corpse, also clothed only in underwear, is found lying on a log beside a remote lake. Ranger McIntyre's usual duties as a park ranger do not include murder-or people in their underwear, for that matter-but he starts putting pieces of the puzzle together until they lead him to a backcountry hut and a photographer who orders him to disrobe-at gunpoint. Ranger McIntyre is drawn into an FBI investigation involving a suspect who is selling salacious photographs of nudes who appear to be very, very dead. McIntyre's interaction with the FBI agent is made even more embarrassing by the fact that the agent's secretary is the drop-dead gorgeous Violet Coteau, who looks like a flapper... and acts like an agent.

James C. Work grew up in a rustic cabin camp on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. After completing his Ph.D. at the University of New Mexico, he went on to publish more than sixteen books including the award-winning Prose and Poetry of the American West and Following Where the River Begins. He is also the author of six mythical westerns of the Keystone Riders series, a collection of stories from the 1880s with themes from the King Arthur chronicles. His Ranger McIntyre Mysteries set in the 1920s in Rocky Mountain National Park include: Unmentionable Murders; Small Delightful Murders; The Dunraven Hoard Murders; The Stones of Peril; The Mystery of the Missing Bierstadt, all of which have been reissued by Encircle Publications in paperback and ebook; and two new entries published by Encircle in 2023, The Big Elk Murders (June 28); and The Lawn Lake Murders (October 11). James lives in Colorado and is working on his next Ranger McIntyre Mystery.
