On a fly-fishing vacation in California’s High Sierra, San Francisco stockbroker Quill Gordon finds more than he bargained for. A menacing “citizen militia,” led by a former radio talk show host, has taken over an alpine meadow and is stockpiling far more guns than it needs for target practice. Ellen McHenry, a rancher’s daughter whose straightforward charms Gordon finds hard to resist, is in serious legal trouble as a trial over a contested will tears her family apart and threatens her father’s legacy. When these combustible factors lead to murder in cold blood and broad daylight, Ellen becomes a prime suspect, the militia ramps up its suspicious activities, and Gordon is drawn deeper into the case — whether he wants to be or not.

I Scarce Can Die (Quill Gordon Mystery)

<p>'ONE OF MY CLIENTS MAY BE PLANNING A MURDER.' Twin brothers Mason and Tyler Linfield are due to split an $800 million inheritance when they turn 25 in a few months. After the estranged heirs unexpectedly decide to take a guided pack trip in the High Sierra wilderness as a 'bonding' experience, Herbert McCabe, attorney for the family trust, is concerned. He turns to Quill Gordon, who accepts an unofficial assignment to see that both brothers get through the trip alive. In the remote back country, unable to communicate with civilization or use modern technology, Gordon and his friend Sam Akers must rely on their wits and intuition to sort out a dangerous and escalating game of bluff and double bluff, where it's hard to tell who the players are and whether anyone is what he or she seems to be. As incident piles upon incident, it becomes an open question whether the twins (or their watchers) will make it to the end of the trail.</p>

<p>''ONE ACCIDENTAL DEATH WOULD BE NEWSWORTHY. THREE IS AN ABSURDITY." Retired librarian Olema Marsh thinks a string of fatal accidents in her Eastern Sierra town of Barnstaple is more than suspicious, and when the sheriff doesn't agree, she asks Quill Gordon to investigate. Shortly after Gordon and his sidekick Peter Delaney arrive in Barnstaple, there's another 'accidental' death and a no-doubt-about-it murder. With the help of a Southern California detective trying to resurrect a cold case and a washed-up journalist trying to outsmart the police, Gordon comes to realize that the Barnstaple accidents have deep roots, going back over a lot of time and territory. And if Gordon doesn't act fast, a cunning and ruthless killer may not be finished yet.</p>
