Description

Small Delights Lodge in Rocky Mountain National Park is under siege. Shots fired at the owner, vehicles set on fire, boats sabotaged, electrocution booby traps, and deadfalls set up and finally arson and murder. RMNP Ranger Tim McIntyre has plenty of suspects, including the owner of a neighboring resort, a rogue park ranger, and some Chicago mobsters who want Small Delights as a prohibition speakeasy. The only help McIntyre can depend on consists of two attractive women, one a highly competent take-charge-and-do-it kind of gal named Polly and the other an FBI secretary with great legs and a Thompson submachine gun.

Reviews

. . . a fun series launch . . . as the twisted murderer prepares for another crime, McIntyre sifts the evidence and reflects that detective work is a lot like trout fishing. Quirky characters amble through the deceptively makeshift plot to an ending that will leave readers eager for more.--Publishers Weekly on Ranger McIntyre: Unmentionable Murders
