Death in the Pines - An Oakley Tyler Novel

Thom Hartmann

Synopsis

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

But intrigued by her passion and her beauty, Miles agrees to hire her and support her investigation. What starts as a professional relationship soon becomes personal—and dangerous.
