Angebote / Angebote:

Caught on horseback in a raging mountain thunderstorm, Steve Watts found shelter, a comfortable spot to rest and began contemplating the latter stages of his remarkable career. A retired cop and state investigator, with stints in the Army and as a fisherman in Alaska, Steve ended his working life as the owner of a private detective agency in Idaho Falls. "Lemhi Overhang" details some of Steve's adventures as owner and operator of the Idaho Protective Specialist Company: on the road to Arizona to investigate a murder-suicide for an old friend, combating government bureaucracy run amok, and interacting with a fascinating cast of characters in the tiny cowboy town, Leadore, where he and his wife built a lodge and kept horses. Along the way, Steve learned a little something about himself, a rugged individualist so capable of dealing with what he called the "physical world, " he sought greater understanding of his spiritual side. "Lemhi Overhang" offers readers some unique insights: into the world of a private detective who finds himself involved in a host of interesting and unusual cases, into the workings of a small, mountain community whose citizens sometimes seem as though they walked straight out of a B. Traven novel, and into the mind of a remarkable man as he contemplated aging and the inevitable. "The Lemhi Overhang is a quick and very easy read, and so engrossing that I stopped reading it only three times-twice because I was sleepy, and the last time because the story ended!" - Dianne Meyer, author, Bellingham, Washington "All in all, a fascinating read." - Debu Majumdar, author, Idaho Falls, Idaho
