When preparations for the Bath Arts Academy's anniversary exhibition are disrupted by a series of peculiar events, culminating in murder, laidback painter and private investigator Chris Honeysett finds himself the prime suspect in the ensuing police investigation. It's clear that someone is trying to frame him. But who? And why?

Chris's latest assignment--babysitting TV archaeologist Guy Middleton during filming at an aging rock star's mansion near Bath--seems straightforward enough, but when the TV presenter starts to receive threatening letters and spiked drinks, Chris realizes that there's a lot more to this job than he'd been led to believe.

Świetnie napisana historia 10. Dywizji G�rskiej Armii Stan�w Zjednoczonych i ludzi, kt�rzy ją tworzyli. Fascynująca lektura dla miłośnik�w historii, alpinizmu i narciarstwa.Wybuch II wojny światowej i sukcesy jednostek fińskich i niemieckich ukazały wartość oddział�w przygotowanych do walki w g�rach i w ekstremalnych warunkach pogodowych. W USA taka elitarna jednostka powstała w niezwykły spos�b. Pod koniec lat trzydziestych XX wieku wspinaczka i narciarstwo były tam stosunkowo mało znane i popularne. 10. Dywizję G�rską - jednostkę pod każdym względem wyjątkową - stworzyli ochotnicy, ludzie z pasją: sportowcy, ratownicy g�rscy, miłośnicy wspinaczki i jazdy na nartach, studenci. Jako ostatnia amerykańska dywizja trafiła na front w Europie, lecz zapisała tam piękną kartę, tocząc krwawe walki na linii Got�w. Atak na niedostępne według Niemc�w urwisko, kt�ry przełamał ich obronę w Apeninach, był pokazem bohaterstwa, niezwykłych umiejętności alpinistycznych i pomysłowości.Wspinaczka ku zwycięstwu to jednak nie tylko opowieść o jednostce, jej szkoleniu i walkach. To r�wnież z pasją opowiedziana historia tworzących ją ludzi - choćby Davida Browera, szefa organizacji Sierra Club, Billa Bowermana, założyciela firmy Nike czy Friedla Pfeifera, wsp�łtw�rcy ośrodka narciarskiego w Aspen - kt�rzy jeszcze długo po wojnie wywierali wielki wpływ na rozw�j sportu i życie w Stanach Zjednoczonych.�
