Quill Gordon Mystery series by Michael Wallace (#1-4)
Requirements: .ePUB .MOBI .AZW3 Reader | 4 MB
Overview: MICHAEL WALLACE got hooked on mysteries when he read Agatha Christie's "Murder in Mesopotamia" at the age of 12. He has been fly fishing, with varying degrees of success, for 30 years. The two interests have come together in his first mystery novel, "The McHenry Inheritance."
Genre: Mystery
The McHenry Inheritance (#1) In the first Quill Gordon mystery, Gordon, a San Francisco stockbroker and former college basketball star, goes on a fly-fishing vacation in the High Sierra and encounters more than he bargained for. A menacing "citizen militia," led by a former radio talk-show host, has taken over an alpine meadow and is stockpiling a massive cache of weapons. Ellen McHenry, a rancher's daughter to whom Gordon is attracted, is in the middle of a trial over a contested will that is tearing apart her family and threatening her father's legacy. When a murder is committed in cold blood and broad daylight, Ellen becomes a suspect, the militia ramps up its suspicious activities, and Gordon is drawn more deeply into the case — whether he wants to be or not.
Wash Her Guilt Away (#2) “There will be no love at Harry’s!” Harry Ezekian’s daughter-in-law, rumored to be a witch, put that curse on his once-venerable riverside lodge, a Mecca for fly fishermen and philandering politicians. For two decades afterward the place went downhill, but a new owner has fixed it up. Expert angler Quill Gordon, who made his debut in the well reviewed first novel “The McHenry Inheritance,” and his friend Peter Delaney have come to check it out. A stretch of bad weather throws the lodge’s visitors too close together for comfort, and sexual tensions simmer, just as the curse predicted. Then the bored and restless young second wife of a middle-aged businessman is found strangled in one of the cabins — locked from the inside and surrounded by snow with no footprints leading in or out. When it turns out that the victim had been flirting, or worse, with all the men at the lodge, everybody’s a suspect, and Gordon finds himself trying to help a baffled detective answer two questions: For which person at Harry’s did love turn murderous, and how could a seemingly impossible crime have been committed?
Not Death, But Love (#3) A PAEAN TO BOOKS, A MEDITATION ON LOVE, AND A POLICE PROCEDURAL WITH NO POLICE. With the words, “You look like an honest man,” retired English teacher Charlotte London approaches Quill Gordon in a small-town café and gives him a manila envelope for safekeeping. That night, a fire destroys her house, her body is found in the ruins, and Gordon is no longer an investor on a fishing trip, but the unwitting custodian of her family history and personal journal from 25 years ago. When the politically sensitive sheriff seems content to call the fire an accident, Gordon and his friend Peter Delaney team up with an aging-hippie newspaper editor, a librarian who talks too much, a factoid-obsessed local historian, and Charlotte’s best friend to investigate her death. Is the critical clue in the family history, which digs into a controversial land development and suggests her father’s “accidental” death may not have been so accidental? Or is it in her journal, where, amid reflections on Pride and Prejudice and Anna Karenina, Charlotte chronicles an illicit love affair? Something in those documents is worth killing for, and the investigation becomes increasingly personal (and perilous) for Gordon and his associates, who need a solution before one of them becomes the next corpse.
The Daughters Of Alta Mira (#4) “EVERY WOMAN IN TOWN IS TERRIFIED.” Since the school year started, two female students in Alta Mira, a town in a beautiful high desert valley, have gone missing while hitchhiking home from the community college. There may be a serial killer at work, and as if the new sheriff didn’t have her hands full with that, two star players on the high school football team are under a cloud of suspicion in connection with the rape of a cheerleader at a Saturday night party. Into the middle of all this, Quill Gordon and his friend Sam Akers show up for a late-season fishing trip with Gordon’s old college buddy, local radio host “Mountain Bob” Hastings. Mountain Bob thinks he has a lead on one of the crimes, and when he’s murdered during his morning program, the sheriff and district attorney turn to Gordon for help following up his friend’s investigation. After another student disappears, it becomes a race against time and gender, with Gordon trying to avoid becoming the killer’s second male victim.
