"The real pleasure of jumping into this mystery is the manner in which Richard Houston writes. Think Garrison Keillor's 'A Prairie Home Companion', a dab of Mark Twain, and a dollop of John Grisham - marinate out in nature, and out comes Houston's style. Not bad ingredients for an author on the rise." - HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER, Grady Harp on A Book to Die For "This is quite simply one of the best books I've read in a long time. I absolutely loved it. While I know the Ozarks and Colorado well, it certainly isn't necessary for the reader to have knowledge of those areas because of the superb dialogue, the plot, and the author's obvious love for animals. Fred is a wonderful character. And yes, my husband has also given a little beer here and there to our dogs over the years!When you pick this book up, better create a little time to devote to the read, because once you begin it, you won't want to put it down. Kudos Mr. Houston on writing a great read!" - Dianne Harman, best selling author and seven time Amazon All Star on A View to Die For
There is a treasure high in the Colorado Rockies waiting for someone to find it. Jake Martin couldn't care less. Since the death of his wife, all Jake wants is to be left alone in his mountain cabin where he and his dog, Fred, can get on with life. But when it becomes known that the location of the treasure is encrypted in a message left by a nineteenth-century miner, people begin to die, and Jake's good friend and neighbor becomes the number one suspect.
The old miner used a copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as a key to his coded message, and the real murderer wants that edition so bad, he's willing to kill for it. Can the amateur sleuths decode the message and stop the murderer, or have Jake and Fred finally met their match?
