Death in the Pines

New York Times–Bestselling Author: In this "compelling and entertaining" mystery, a retired PI finds the cover-up may be deadlier than the crime (Midwest Book Review).

 


After closing his private investigation firm and moving to a small cabin in the Vermont woods, Oakley Tyler can finally begin his retirement. But his peace is interrupted when Jeremiah Smith visits and asks the ex-PI to help him stop unidentified men from killing his grandson, a local newspaper reporter. Tyler is reluctant to take the case, wishing to get back to a life of leisure, but when Smith is killed in a hit-and-run, Tyler is convinced someone has silenced the old man to protect a secret. Delving into the mystery, Tyler finds himself experiencing mysterious visits from a Native American woman, investigating a potentially devastating threat to the environment—and facing a more immediate danger when someone starts making attempts on his life . . .


 


"An accomplished writer . . . This rather grizzled character he has come up with is about as ruggedly individualistic as any Vermonter could wish for." —Reviewing the Evidence
