D. H. Lawrence wrote of the winter on Taos Mountain, In a cold like this, the stars snap like distant coyotes. In this fifth Pot Thief story, Hubie’s official reason for visiting the Lawrence Ranch high on that Mountain is to entertain donors with a presentation about ancient pottery. But his real goal is to find the pot Fidelio Duran presented to D. H. Lawrence as a welcoming gift. Then a snowstorm strands Hubie at the Lawrence Ranch Conference Center, and his new goal becomes survival. Are the guests dying of accidents or is there a murderer among them?
