“

The perfect follow-up to Krakauer’s riveting account of a perfect storm.”
–Miami Herald“Kodas’s absorbing description of the narrow moral compass governing human interaction at the top of the world is bound to shock both armchair adventurers and seasoned mountaineers.”
–Chicago Tribune“(Kodas) discovered more deceit, thievery, and double-crossing among his climbers than you find in a Martin Scorsese gangster film. High Crimes is both an adventure story and an expos of a sport riddled with danger and corruption.”
–Washington Post Book World“Kodas’s descriptions of the struggles confronting even the best-prepared climbers leave the reader breathless.”
–Dallas Morning News“[High Crimes] is hair-raising and lays bare the excitement and fear that face great explorers at the top of the world. . . . Well written, and as deftly plotted as the finest mystery novel, Kodas brings to life a disturbing picture of society at high altitude.”
–Austin Chronicle“Kodas does an excellent job exposing the ways in which money and ego have corrupted the traditional cultures of both mountaineers and their Sherpa guides. . . . His narrative is as hard to turn away from as a slow-motion train wreck.”
–Publishers WeeklyHigh Crimes is journalist Michael Kodas’s gripping account of life on top of the world–where man is every bit as deadly as Mother Nature.

“

Crackles with an ominous electricity, pulling you inside the mind of a killer who is terrifyingly twisted…terrifyingly real. The pages will race by as you read, but I guarantee your heart will race even faster.”
-T.L. Hines, author of Waking Lazarus

A beautiful woman stands by the side of the road, barefoot and bleeding, a child in her arms. Someone just tried to kill her, but she wouldn’t recognize him if she saw his face. She doesn’t even remember her own name.

A suburban cop surveys a kitchen in disarray–a woman and child missing, a chilling note. This crime scene is unlike any he has ever seen.

The man who calls himself Gideon waits and plans. He sees himself as a destroyer of evil, one who rids the world of abominations. He has already killed five. He will kill again.

And somewhere in the wilderness, in a secret geocache near where the wild swans gather, lies the unspeakable clue that links them all together.

Michigan’s rugged and beautiful Upper Peninsula is the setting for this absorbing tale of love and loss, beauty and terror, grievous sins and second chances. A deftly woven thriller from the popular author of the Rock Harbor novels.
