Prova gratis per 14 giorniA professor and private detective is called in by an Oregon lawman for help with a high-profile murder …
A mild-mannered college professor is an unlikely candidate to hunt down the killer of the town’s richest man and his movie star paramour. But because of a chance encounter years before, Max Blake, a former newspaper reporter-turned-professor and part-time private detective, is called in, and forced to form unusual and sometimes dodgy alliances, as he investigates the vicious killings with the city’s police chief. To make things worse, there’s a complicated history between Max and the chief—and the leading suspects are members of the city’s police force.
The trail winds through the incredible mansion called Raptor’s Ridge and the streets and alleyways of Oregon’s state capital, and eventually spills into the beautiful but deadly High Desert near the town of John Day. When the killer is eventually cornered and violence explodes in unexpected ways, Max must use all of his wits and daring, plus a little bit of luck, to remain alive during a deadly night of terror … and eventual reckoning.
Fans of the author’s Max Blake Westerns series will be delighted to discover this new and thoroughly modern Max—the great-great grandson and namesake of the legendary federal marshal who forms the basis of five previous novels.
