Blue Moon

Alone on a wilderness trek in the New Mexico mountains, Lakota PI Howard Moon Deer meets a barefoot, half-crazed astrophysicist who claims he's been abducted by a flying saucer and has just returned from the planet Klizmor in possession of an illusive equation from their advanced civilization: the Theory of Everything.

Is he a madman or part of a clever fraud? He's not just anyone, Howie soon discovers. He's Dr. Grisha Bloom, a famous Nobel Prize winning physicist, and when he's murdered Howie finds himself immersed in a dangerous world of UFO conspiracies, military secrets, and a group of cutthroat astronomers who are competing to claim credit for the discovery of a new subatomic particle, the Blue Moon Quark.

Blue Moon, the sixth Howard Moon Deer mystery, takes the listener on a roller-coaster ride through the dark side of New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic bomb, where science and fakery converge, and huge government contracts dangle for those brilliant enough—or ruthless enough—to reach for the stars.
