SUMMARY  |  EXCERPT   |  AUTHOR'S NOTE   |  QUOTES

"Compelling...social commentary, an updated version of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle for the recreation-based new West."
Denver Post

"Burns with intrigue....Glick has written an engrossing whodunit, full of rich characters, about the still-unsolved arson attack supposed launched by the shadowy eco-terrorist group known as the Earth Liberation Front....More important, he has written a deeper tale of Old West-New West conflict, of the corrosive influence of big money and Wall Street corporations on the community fabric of the Rockies, of how industrial tourism is transforming--some say ruining--the West by strip mining the scenery."
USA Today

"An upper-crust detective story, unfurling a mysteroius tale of arson....Daniel Glick's book presents a real-life game of Clue with myriad suspects...A savvy, engrossing whodunit...offering a fascinating social commentary on the disparity between rich and poor, tourists and locals, resort owners and employees."
Chicago Tribune

"Glick...looks past the snowy peaks and windswept grasslands of our imagined West to reveal a much darker landscape...."
Boston Globe
