The Rescue

When former National Security Agency operative Tom Black takes on a case for his old employer, little does he suspect the life of Beth Andrews, his girlfriend, hangs in the balance. Beth scares up trouble on her own when she starts her consulting business, getting her name added to the hit list of an unscrupulous oil and gas operator. While simply trying to enjoy the mountains on their own time, the pair gets involved in several dramatic climbing rescues and plots to kill the President and kidnap the governor of Colorado. From the streets of Denver to the peaks of the Colorado Front Range and the Wyoming Tetons, the partnership formed in earlier adventures is strengthened as they learn they can rely on each other without question.

Robert Matthias worked for twenty years as a geologist for a variety of firms, followed by another twenty as a professional handyman. He began his mountaineering avocation in the Tetons. He has climbed in the American Rockies, the Canadian Rockies, and the Peruvian Andes. He lives, climbs, skis, and cycles with his wife from their home in Boulder, Colorado. This book is a sequel to The Peruvian Twin.
