MOUNTAINEERING BREEDS HARD MEN—AND THEY DON’T COME ANY HARDER THAN... MOUNTAIN JACK PIKE

A bold and brawny trapper hungry for beaver, he's rough and ready mountain Jack Pike!

A steel-fisted, bear of a man. Jack Pike is the toughest hunk of man-flesh the Rockies ever spawned. Men want to best him, women need to love him, and he always meets their challenges head on.

When falling fur prices threaten to undo the trappers, hot-blooded Jack Pike and Skins McConnell head for St. Louis, headquarters of the big fur tradin' companies. But Pike and Skins are quick to learn that the price of beaver in the big city is high, maybe as much as a man's life. Then things get even stickier when the hard-lovin' Skins wakes up next to a dead woman—and lands head first in the hoosegow.

Feeling like a fox in a chicken coop, Pike pokes around the bawdy house district, tryin' to clear his friend's name. He's about to come to blows when a prissy city-girl bends over backwards and gives Pike just what he needs to drive Skins' case home and free him once and for all!

3.0 out of 5 stars Writing OK, Horrible lack of research
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2016

I have read the five preceeding books in this series, and been entertained yet annoyed by the lake of research by whoever wrote them (typically the named author does great research). However...when the very first part of the story has our hero's on a train to St Louis to discuss the rendezvous, really? The first train west of St Louis was not until 1851, the last rendezvous was in 1840. Come on just because we read westerns does not mean we are idiots!
