Ranger McIntyre: Small Delightful Murders

Among Ranger McIntyre's problems is Small Delights Lodge, a resort inside Rocky Mountain National Park. Someone has taken a shot at the owner, tried to electrocute him, set a bear loose at his door, sabotaged his boat, and disabled the brakes on his car.

Suspects include the virago who owns Grand Harbor Lodge, a rogue park ranger, and a mob of Chicago gangsters who want Small Delights for a prohibition speakeasy. When the situation escalates to arson and murder-and a possible romance-McIntyre finds himself longing for the old days when all he had to deal with were poachers and the occasional wounded grizzly or mountain lion.
