Do You Like Murder Mysteries?
The newest additions to Hock's mountain collection, are a murder mystery series about special agent Antonio Burns - a cop really - who is based in Wyoming, and whose hobby is high end mountaineering. Many of the scenes are set in places that are full of alpine memories: The Snaz, north face of the Grand, the Diamond, Vedauwoo, and the Skillet Glacier. The action is fast paced; with one minute Burns stacking arm-bars in an off width crack and the next reading a criminal his rights. Highly recommended; you can buy them used from Amazon.com or for a few weeks more on Michael Chessler's $.99 sale. (Of course, the other option is to borrow them from me, for by definition, if you are reading the blog you have library privileges.)
