وصف الناشر
"An absorbing archaeological mystery, rich in historical detail and local atmosphere. With its colorful characters and fast–paced plot, Mesa Verde Victim is a fascinating find."
—AUSMA ZEHANAT KHAN, author of A Deadly Divide
Hounded by false accusations of murder, archaeologist Chuck Bender and his family risk their lives to track down an unknown killer on the loose in a rugged canyon on the remote western edge of Mesa Verde National Park, where ancient stone villages and secret burial sites, abandoned centuries ago by the Ancestral Puebloan people, harbor artifacts so rare and precious they're worth killing over.
SCOTT GRAHAM is the National Outdoor Book Award–winning author of the six–volume National Park Mystery Series for Torrey House Press, including Canyon Sacrifice, Mountain Rampage, Yellowstone Standoff, Yosemite Fall, and Arches Enemy, and five other books. He is an avid outdoorsman who lives with his wife, an emergency physician, in southwestern Colorado.

Fearless in pursuit of justice
In Chuck Bender we readers find a protagonist with whom we can connect and empathize, one we can respect as we oh-so-gently roll our eyes at. And perhaps most importantly, one we can live vicariously through, as Chuck plunges, time after time, into situations most of us shudder to think of being confronted with.
Mesa Verde Victim launches Chuck immediately into action and only ever pauses to gently educate the reader about archaeology, rock climbing, geography, and politics. The subtext is rich with lessons about nurturance, friendship, and what character actually means. And in true Scott Graham style, a bit of greed and mayhem winds delightfully throughout the book.
With each National Park Mystery we discover more about Chuck and his family, more about the astonishing treasures hidden beneath the land we walk upon, and more about how our place in the world is determined by the love, concern, and effort we’re willing to put forth into it.
Mesa Verde Victim
Extraordinary coverage of the history of the Mesa Verde \Durango area. I’ve lived in Durango since the 1970’s and still learned a lot of new information. Additionally, The mystery story itself, kept me on edge, a real page turner.
