Ranger McIntyre

Unmentionable Murders

Beschreibung

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.

Autor

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.
