Mystery nuts will love the twists and turns of Hubert s dilemmas and Orenduff s fast but intricate plots that weave in New Mexico culture. Buy a Pot Thief Murder Mystery, grab a margarita, and read up! --Mirage, the University of New Mexico Alumni Magazine Product DescriptionMaybe it was the chance for an easy $2500. Or maybe it was the chance to examine a treasure trove of Anasazi pots...or maybe it was just a slow day at his Old Town Albuquerque shop that prompted Hubie Schuze to be blindfolded and chauffeured to meet a reclusive collector looking for a confidential appraisal. Sure, it was an odd setup, but what could possibly go wrong? Hubie's devil-may-care attitude fades fast when he finds three of his own Anasazi copies among the genuine antiquities. Worse, when the driver drops him back home, what he doesn't find are the twenty-five crisp hundred dollar bills the collector gave him. Incensed at the rip-off, Hubie is determinded to recoup his cash, burt Detective Whit Fletcher interrupts, dragging Hubie to the morgue to identify a John Doe. When the sheet is pulled back, Hubie is stunned to see the collector. Hubie is not a suspect - yet. But the longer he persues his missing appraisal fee, the more tangled he becomes in the collector's shadowy life. Views: 16
