Reviews
"Graham's winning fourth National Park mystery uses Yosemite as a backdrop for a host of shady dealings and dangerous power struggles. ...The archaeological work depicts how settlers unjustly blamed Native Americans for devious actions, and the blending of elements never feels clunky. This zippy tale uses lush descriptions of natural beauty and twisted false leads to create an exciting, rewarding puzzle."
--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Graham has crafted a multilevel mystery that plumbs the emotions of greed and jealousy that cause some people to ignore their humanity. He also weaves into the story a vast store of information about the history of Yosemite, details about rock climbing and paramedic procedures."
--THE DURANGO HERALD "The historical perspective on the Yosemite area is fascinating, and the plot associated with a young girl's climbing skills helps the non-rock-climbing reader understand the sport as well as adding tension to the story. Graham effectively places the reader in the landscape and history of the West."
--REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE "As always, the highlight of Graham's National Park Mystery Series is his extensive knowledge of the parks system, its lands, and its people."
--KIRKUS REVIEWS "Only the best novelists have the gift of propelling readers into the middle of artfully crafted adventures, and with Yosemite Fall, Scott Graham once again proves he belongs in the very first rank."
--JEFF GUINN, 2018 Edgar Award nominee and New York Times bestselling author of The Road to Jonestown "Death by landscape in Yosemite Fall--Scott Graham keeps the reader on edge throughout this entire National Park Mystery."
--MARGARET MIZUSHIMA, award-winning author of Hunting Hour: A Timber Creek K-9 Mystery Praise for Yellowstone Standoff
"Bears and wolves in Yellowstone's backcountry don't hold a candle to the danger posed by the people sent there to study them. [Yellowstone Standoff balances] potential danger and shady characters."
--KIRKUS REVIEWS "One part mystery, one part mysticism, and one part mayhem--Scott Graham's Yellowstone Standoff is all parts thrilling."
--CRAIG JOHNSON, author of the Longmire Mysteries "With sweeping landscapes, engaging characters, and a twisted plot, Scott Graham's Yellowstone Standoff is a must-read mystery that's hard to set down."
--MARGARET MIZUSHIMA, author of Killing Trail: A Timber Creek K-9 Mystery "Yellowstone Standoff takes man versus nature--and man tangled up with nature--right to the brink of wild suspense."
--MARK STEVENS, author of Lake of Fire "You know when a reader says they couldn't put the book down? Yellowstone Standoff is one of those rare books...a tour de force."
--WIN BLEVINS, author of The Darkness Rolling Praise for Mountain Rampage
"Graham's clever tale is tailor-made for those who prefer their mysteries under blue skies..."
--KIRKUS REVIEWS "Description and dialogue balance to bring both the rounded characters and the Rocky Mountain setting alive in this tale of danger, death, and intrigue...Scott Graham has created a satisfying and suspenseful adventure."
