Black Mountain

When Presidential Deal hit the bestseller lists, fans of Les Standiford’s other books, including Done Deal and Raw Deal, rejoiced. They already knew what new readers would find: taut suspense, tough characters, and a superb sense of mood. Now in Black Mountain, Standiford combines high-country adventure with a tale of ruthless revenge.

Black Mountain looms on the horizon east of Yellowstone. When New York’s governor goes there on vacation, policeman Richard Corrigan is an unofficial part of the security team. The first “accident” occurs when the seaplane explodes after dropping them at the campsite. The second is clearly murder. One by one, members of the camping trip are targeted by unseen, silent killers.

As Corrigan desperately tries to anticipate the next attack, the danger and tension mount with each passing hour. Filled with nonstop action, Black Mountain reaches new heights of suspense.

“Complex and stylish, Black Mountain makes James Dickey’s Deliverance seem like a frolic in the park with the local Cub Scout troop. Featuring the wildest bad guys who ever pulled on hiking boots, this is Standiford’s richest and most compelling work yet.”—James W. Hall
