By Richard Hoyt

Book Overview

When private eye John Denson travels to Washington State to clear a client of a small-time marijuana charge, he finds himself in the midst of a turf war between the mighty logging industry and the imperiled spotted owl. When a spotted owl is found murdered--strangled, to be precise--Denon's sometime partner Willie Prettybird, a Cowlitz Indian, thinks that the Spirit Animals want Denson to investigate the killing. That's when things start to get cosmic. First theCorpus Deectiis misplaced...then the beautiful Jennie Maclvar of the Fish and Wildlife Service, who was determined to fin the killer, is murdered... One thing's for certain: this is much more complicated than a simple marijuana case. In fact, Denson may be the next victim....

Customer Reviews

Denson is back.

Denson is back, solving the mysterious death of an owl. There's a romance. There's the word play that Richard Hoyt does so well. There's the tight prose and glib humor that he's known for.But mostly there's another great mystery set in the beautiful Pacific North West. Richard captures the essence of the place and uses it, once again, to contrast the dark secrets of another Denson story.Richard has done it again.
