The Word is Out
Mystery author in Frisco Saturday
Posted in In the Press by People's Press on August 26, 2011
Award-winning Colorado author Mark Stevens will be at the Next Page Bookstore in Frisco at 3 p.m. Saturday for a book signing and discussion of his new release, “Buried by the Roan.”
The fate of Colorado’s Roan Plateau and the controversy over energy development are at the heart of the new mystery by Stevens.
Set in the Flat Tops Wilderness and surrounding communities of Glenwood Springs and Meeker, “Buried by the Roan”>Buried by the Roan” is the second in the Allison Coil Mystery Series. “Antler Dust,” the first, drew terrific reviews from the Denver Post, The Aspen Times and the Great Falls (Montana) Tribune, among many others. Said New York Times best-selling author Margaret Coel: “Buried by the Roan is flat-out terrific. Everything you expect from a first-rate mystery is here: Savvy sleuth Allison Coil, hunting guide on-top-of-her-game, gorgeous Colorado mountain setting, gripping story where the pages practically turn themselves, and eloquent writing to boot.”
In Buried by the Roan, one of Allison Coil’s clients turns up dead on the shore of Oyster Lake, deep in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area. Buffalo ranch owner Josh Keating apparently died following a drunken, late-night stumble on a sub-zero night, but Allison learns he was in the middle of a bitter feud with a world-class environmental zealot, a man who was also his neighbor. The trail of questions leads to the battle over natural gas exploration in the nearby Roan Plateau. The drilling is seen by some locals as a welcome windfall or riches and by others as reckless and dangerous, given the chemicals that energy developers inject deep underground to make the natural gas easier to extract.
