All that Glisters

This space is supposed to contain a synopsis of All that Glisters, but that’s near impossible. For a synopsis to make sense, you would need to know that Renaldo is a scion of the Peron government in Argentina, master of the quadrille, an impeccably groomed ladies’ man, fanatically focused on becoming a millionaire.

You would need to know that Alex grew up in the big woods outside Seattle with a gun in his hand, can shoot the mustache off a gnat at fifty paces and leave him smiling. While Renaldo focused on getting both of them through accounting in college, Alex was into football, boxing, and convincing the jocks not to hassle Renaldo when one of their girlfriends went gaga over the Latin charm.

You would have to understand that the symbiotic relationship from college still rules their adult lives.

Alex, now a Bethel bush pilot, gets a frantic call from Renaldo with the news that someone is trying to kill him. Nothing new about that, and flying to the rescue is almost business as usual for Alex. Sure, their lives are on the line and it only gets more complicated and dangerous when they hook up with the lovely Paloma. Just another pot boiler murder mystery. You're invited to solve it. Alex has to solve it or get dead. He has his trusty 357 Magnum reolver, and uses several aircraft, rented, or stolen as needed.

The thing that's different about this call is that Renaldo is in Venezuela, comptroller for a very successful gold mine.
