Mountaineering fiction ... a Tom Hadley mystery

An excellent fast-paced, first murder mystery. The climbing action set in the Tetons is authentic, and the well detailed backgrounds are familiar to any climber ... Jenny Lake boulders, AAC Climber's Ranch, Lower Saddle, Petzoldt caves, and Dornan's. The hero is a National Park climbing ranger, and he seems spot on as well. However, too little time and energy was spent on supporting characters, especially those on "the dark side." The Dick Cheney character was a little too thinly veiled for my tastes. For $2.99 it is well worth getting on your kindle or iPad.
