Lake of Fire

Mark Stevens

A giant wildfire is roaring through Colorado's Flat Tops Wilderness. The massive blaze is wiping out Allison Coil's precious hunting grounds and the flames have set their sights on the beautiful ranch owned by her boyfriend's family. Backwoods survivalist Devo finds a body in the blackened forest. The dead man turns out to be a reclusive environmentalist with an unorthodox idea for the battle against global warming. The dead man was no stranger to Allison or her longtime friend, Trudy Heath. Allison, with help from Glenwood Springs reporter Duncan Bloom, burrows into an underground world of haters who harbor a grim view of the world. Suddenly, Trudy goes missing. If Allison can stop the wicked haters, ordinary hell might not be punishment enough for where these particular agents of evil belong.

Praise for this book

"Engrossing." - Mystery Scene Magazine

"A complex tale of murder, mayhem and misguided patriotism." - The Denver Post

"Lake of Fire swirls into an environmental inferno that reads all too true--Mark Stevens writes like wildfire." - Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire novels, basis for the hit series Longmire

"Stevens crafts a tight thriller with a wonderful sense of the characters and atmosphere of the Colorado mountains - Western Slope readers will no doubt see their friends and neighbors and themselves in the rag-tag team of individualistic high-country sleuths of Lake of Fire ... Many readers, of course, turn to mystery novels as diversions from fears about things like global warming. Instead, in Lake of Fire, Stevens uses those fears to drive a gripping gumshoe narrative." - The Aspen Times

"Going straight to the fourth book in the series was not seriously problematic, but I would recommend starting at the beginning to better enjoy Allison and Trudy's character development. I am so excited to have found a well-written, suspenseful mystery series set in our own gorgeous backyard." - Steamboat Pilot & Today
