Old Peter Partridge—called Puma for reasons no one could recall—was rumored to have been an Army scout in the Indian wars, and before that, one of those old-time mountain men. Old Puma had been working for the Yellowstone Outfit for seven years, could double as camp cook, bone-setter, hostler, and tally-man, and he was undeniably a good hand with a horse or a rope.Â

Just as winter sets in, Puma is mysteriously shot while riding the Yellowstone range. He just doesn’t know who shot him—or why. After recovering from his near-murder, Puma goes out in search of the unknown assassin. However, what he finds is not a lone killer but a nest of fierce outlaws with a dark and bizarre scheme to break up the Yellowstone cattle outfit.Â

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.
