Glen Canyon Trilogy
NEW BOOK COMING SOON
Oberon Joe Goes Over
BOOK THREE OF THE GLEN CANYON TRILOGY
GRANDPA DIES OUTSIDE HIS HOOGHAN, IN SIGHT OF A COAL-BURNING POWER PLANT
A MILE-LING COAL TRAIN RUNS AMOK
THE APPARITION OF AN OLD ADVERSARY APPEARS
Now meet Oberon Joe, GM of the Tsegi Canyon & Manson Mesa, the 78-mile rail line delivering coal from Black Mesa to the Navajo Generating Station in northern Arizona. Meet his wife, Cameron, nominal head of a loose alliance of community activists bent on shuttering all three. Meet their daughter, Nizhóní, one-time Miss Northern Navajo Teen, now the victim of a scalding power plant explosion and the recipient of a face transplant. Mix in a scheming coal company exec, a crooked corporation commissioner, Oberon’s ne’er-do-well brother, Ledaniel. Add a little corporate malfeasance and some illegal dumping. And, oh yes: a drug-addled ersatz skin walker still stalking his pursuers.
Confronting them are FBI agents Frank Doyle and Luanda Wilmington; the Hunt brothers—Jordan, Merced, and Niles; Park Rangers Sarah Tanner, Luke Russell, and Tommy Two Clouds; and Jordan’s ex, Nicky.
Now you’ve got a face off to match the clashes in The Murder of Eddie Watchman and How Gerald Glass Died, the first two books of The Glen Canyon Trilogy.
The Murder of Eddie Watchman
BOOK ONE OF THE GLEN CANYON TRILOGY
A SECRET BETWEEN FRIENDS
DIVERGENT PATHS
TERROR IN THE CONVERGENCE
Record drought exposes a missing Navajo police cruiser at the bottom of Lake Powell, the vast reservoir at the heart of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. What’s inside will spark an investigation putting two childhood friends at each other’s throats--Golden Boy Dr. Jordan Hunt and disgraced Navy SEAL Tic Douloureux. The bodies pile up as Jordan and Sarah Tanner, head ranger and Jordan’s newfound love, pursue Tic, who utilizes his survival skills to stay one step ahead and continue building his criminal startup. Things come to a head when Tic at last turns and targets Sarah, and ultimately Jordan, to clear the way to his ultimate destination: revenge on his CO, Ernie Esquibel, the man who terminated his military career.
This story of intrigue and betrayal, of false friendship versus deep-seated loyalty, peopled by pot hunters and militiamen, drug dealers and gangbangers, will grip you from its opening murder sequence to its thunderous climax on the slick rock ramparts of Navajo Mountain.
How Gerald Glass Died
BOOK TWO OF THE GLEN CANYON TRILOGY
MURDER IN A SLOT CANYON
DEATH IN GLEN CANYON DAM
UNPACKING THE PAST TO STOP A KILLER
How did Gerald Glass die down in Glen Canyon Dam years ago? Accident? Suicide? Murder? What legacy did he leave his children? Bitterness and despair? Respect and admiration? And how is that legacy about to play itself out?
The answers to these questions power this second book in The Glen Canyon Trilogy, in which Head Ranger Sarah Tanner and her colleagues— Park Rangers Luke Russell and Tommy Two Clouds, FBI Special Agent Luanda Wilmington, and Dr. Jordan Hunt—join forces once again to confront an old foe now in league with a new partner, a disturbed wildlife biologist with a warped desire to see the dam destroyed. Complicating matters is a meddling Washington bureaucrat covering up a terrible secret.
Author of The Murder of Eddie Watchman, Richard Ryan populates this story of attempted redemption with a sexually precocious blonde, a hippy with a trust fund and helicopter parents, a small-town process server cum P.I., and a starry eyed high school valedictorian. Set in the starkly beautiful wilderness of Lake Powell and the cold heart of Glen Canyon Dam, this story of kismet, parental betrayal, misguided loyalty, and soured idealism, keeps the hits coming until the ultimate detonation.
