Ranger Tim McIntyre is investigating a series of break-ins at private homes located within the boundaries of Rocky Mountain National Park that are closed for the winter. In one of these homes, a well-dressed stranger is found dead on the floor with his head in the fireplace, apparently suffocated by soot.
The investigation reveals that the dead man was a shady antiques dealer looking for a “lost” painting by Albert Bierstadt. A crooked restaurant owner in Denver is keen to acquire this painting. The dead man’s partner takes up the search, and to throw others off the trail, she spreads a false rumor that she found it but that someone has stolen it from her.

An avid pickleball player, I liked his knowledge of the game and use of the courts in the mystery. He also does a good job of incorporating the customs and local characters in Maui. Mark keeps getting deeper in trouble and must fight for his life on many fronts and ensure his wife’s safety.
I like Mark and Sophie. Lots of action. I was critical of the number of times a wife would let her husband play his sport while on vacation with her. I would not like it. I do like this author and have read many of his books.
