Deadly Currents
The first book in my new Rocky Mountain Outdoor Adventures mystery series starring Mandy Tanner, a whitewater river ranger, to be released March 1, 2011. When Mandy rescues a man who fell out of a raft on the upper Arkansas River in Colorado and he dies on the river bank, she feels driven to find out what—or who—killed him. Some authors have already given me blurbs for Deadly Currents:
“Beauty abounds in Beth Groundwater's new novel. Beauty in the marvelous Colorado landscape, beauty in the symmetry of the story, and beauty in the language itself. Deadly Currents is a remarkable book by an author who clearly knows and loves her territory. Don't miss it!”
-- William Kent Krueger, author of the Cork O'Connor series
“If you've wondered what white water river rafting is all about, get ready for a wild plunge into Colorado's Arkansas River with Mandy Tanner, river ranger extraordinaire and dauntless sleuth. Beth Groundwater gets the mountain town of Salida and its cast of river denizens just right. Hurray for Deadly Currents, a heart-racing debut to a new series with as many twists and turns and unexpected upsets as a ride through the rapids itself.”
-- Margaret Coel, author of The Silent Spirit
“An exciting ride from the very first chapter, with a courageous heroine in a fascinating line of work.”
-- Nancy Pickard, author of The Scent of Rain and Lightning
“Beth Groundwater's Deadly Currents comes rushing at you from the first page like roiling whitewater, and culminates in a riveting climax that lives up to this book's name. If you like outdoor adventure and gripping characters, this one's a must-read.”
-- Sandi Ault, Mary Higgins Clark and WILLA Award Winning Author of the Wild Mystery Series, including Wild Indigo, Wild Inferno, Wild Sorrow and Wild Penance
