Meko Torres is a roving freelance journalist in the twilight of his twenties. Meko Torres has a lust for romance, art, skiing, and the natural world. Jack Badenhausen, an old college buddy of Meko's, is the assistant editor of a fiercely independent newspaper in Aspen, Colorado. Meko is restless with talent to burn. Jack writes to his pal asking for help as a stringer just as Meko's thirst for parts unknown grows undeniable. Meko's ready for the open road and drives north from his latest roost of Taos, New Mexico; arriving as the leaves start to turn. Ski season is around the corner. Not even a month goes by before an innocuous assignment involving a house break-in immerses Meko into investigative reporting a story about an opaque charitable foundation with dubious intention.

This debut captured the ambiance of Aspen and what I would imagine a rambling man in his twenties could get up to there.

Its an amazing story. The way is written takes you to the characters setting, as if you were living the experiences with them. Also pretty Amazed by how well described the other characters are, helping the reader understand each characters personality type and culture. I don't read much in english since its not my first language but this book enthralled. I also got giggles since the character can be very synical sarcastic but you know he means well Recommended read!

Not at all what I was expecting. I wasn't ready for the suspense and not being able to put the book down. What a great read! So glad I came across this!

I really enjoyed reading this book. The narrator is a bachelor who has just relocated to Aspen, CO and the story focuses on a piece he is pursuing for the local paper while involving several aspects of his personal life, including dating multiple women. The writing was straight forward and the book was easy to pick up and put down.
