Appartient à la sériePot Thief (6) Est contenu dans
This New Mexico pottery dealer skirts the law--and solves crimes: "Very humorous and delightful . . . with a questionable hero the reader can't help but love" (Kings River Life Magazine). Although his work is technically illegal, Hubie Schuze has no qualms with digging up ancient Native American artifacts. The government calls him a thief, but Hubie thinks of himself as a treasure hunter--and his latest quest could be his last. After lowering himself into a cave in search of Anasazi pottery, Hubie uncovers a long-dead corpse, buried where the Anasazi would never have left a body. As he puzzles over this discovery, he hears a chilling sound: his truck, left behind on the cliff face, being driven away. Stranded in the cave, the pot thief has only a corpse to keep him company. After a narrow escape, Hubie returns with his best friend, Susannah, to try to identify the dead man. What they find instead is a mystery that takes them back not to the days before Columbus, but to the Wild West of Billy the Kid. The Pot Thief Who Studied Billy the Kid is the 6th book in the Pot Thief Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Hubie often ends up in the middle of mysteries. In this book he finds himself digging for pots in a remote cliff dwelling. Instead of a pot he finds a human hand. A hand with a hole in it. That is kind of a revolting development for sure but things get worse when he finds out that somebody has driven off his vehicle and he has to walk a long ways back to civilization. So, its like, who is the dead person, who stranded Hubie out int he middle of nowhere and why?
So Hubie immediately starts attacking the problem at happy hour drinking margaritas at a local watering hole with Susannah Inchaustigui a basque perpetual student at the University of New Mexico. He always discusses his situations with her at happy hour. If you love happy hours, you'll love this book just for their repartee. After discussing the situation Hubie and Susannah have quite the adventure solving the mystery.
Hubie and Susannah check out quite a bit of New Mexican remote areas and talk to Curanderas and other rural characters and of course they finally solve the mystery and get their man.
If you love New Mexico and the southwest and a good mystery you'll love this book. I've read the whole series and am quite the fan. I give it four stars out of five. ( )
