City cops face prohibition bootleggers, gangster gamblers, and get complaints about this loud new "jazz" music.

Produktbeschreibung
City cops face prohibition bootleggers, gangster gamblers, and get complaints about this loud new "jazz" music. But up at Rocky Mountain National Park, Ranger McIntyre has nothing to do except eat breakfast, go fishing-and solve a couple of possible murders. One is an amateur mountaineer found hanging from his own rope on Flattop Mountain. The other, a geologist studying stones on Flattop, somehow ingested a poison plant. Both deaths could be accidental-except that a pair of odd-looking creatures has been seen on the mountain, creatures who appear to be adding new rocks to Flattop's ancient aboriginal stone circle. Ranger McIntyre has a further complication. Her name is Vi Coteau and she's an FBI secretary in Denver, independent as an alley cat and drop-dead gorgeous. She wants the good ranger to teach her all about backcountry camping. Why not? McIntyre was planning to go into the wilderness anyway to look for the source of the strange stones being added to the medicine circle. If he took Vi with him, it would be an adventure... in more ways than a backcountry ranger might imagine.

Autorenporträt
James C. Work grew up in his parents' cabin camp a mile from one of the entrance stations to Rocky Mountain National Park. He was a little boy with a bicycle and more freedom than can be imagined. Sometimes the RMNP rangers at "the gate" would put his bike in the back of their patrol pickup and give him a lift up the road. Sometimes a ranger would take winter lodgings at the family cabin camp. These clean-cut, upright men were his heroes, the National Park his playground. By the time he finished high school, he knew every trail, every stream and lake, and every ranger in the park. While in college, he earned summer money with the trail crew, the fire crew, and eventually by presenting campfire programs for the U.S. Forest Service.His mystery series set in the 1920s in Rocky Mountain National Park includes Unmentionable Murders; Small Delightful Murders; The Dunraven Hoard Murders; The Stones of Peril; The Mystery of the Missing Bierstadt; The Big Elk Murders (Encircle Publications, June 2023); The Lawn Lake Murders (October 2023); and new in May 2024, Down Fall River Dead.
