Summit Murder Mystery Series
There is a point on each of the world’s seven continents higher than any other. Remote, often highly inaccessible, they are the crown jewels of climbing. Among these seven are the world’s deadliest mountains. On Everest alone more than 200 bodies lay near the summit where they fell, unrecovered and unburied. Deaths from falls, avalanches, illness, heart attacks and high altitude sickness are a part of each climbing season atop these mountains. Every climber goes by choice, knowing the danger. To climb all seven of these mountains is considered one of the greatest athletic achievements attainable.
The Summit Murder Mystery series was inspired by the 1987 Everest attempt by co-author Charles G. Irion. Each is an exciting murder mystery set against the climb of one of the Seven Summits. The authors invite you to begin your adventure today with Murder on Everest. Unlike any mystery ever previously written, you will actually feel yourself atop Everest in the midst of a violent blizzard. You’ll read what its like to climb with one-third the usual oxygen, to fight illness and fatigue. You will experience the thrill of the climb, the terror of every step in the Death Zone.
Who will be murdered? How? And why? The answers will astound you.

"Murder on Everest is an exciting murder mystery, featuring not just the usual dangers of mountaineering but those brought by man as well.

"I found this book to actually be a great read! It wasn't anything like I expected. There is plenty of suspense and drama and the writing is nicely detailed without going overboard.  The characters were interesting and it kept my interest all through the book.  The author seemed very knowledgeable of  mountain climbing. I actually understood what he was trying to explain." --  Amy J, Book Reviewer, My Overstuffed Bookshelf
