Into the roaring fork

the long version

"They set out for Aspen in 1985. A one year post-graduation detour to play in the Rockies prior to entering the 'real world.' That was the plan. They wouldn't need much. Just ordinary jobs with a ski pass attached, a one-bedroom apartment, and each other. But tempted by the decadent side of this iconic resort town, Alex Cavanaugh enters into an illicit agreement with a new acquaintance and finds himself on a remote forest trail, where the crime he is committing pales in comparison to the one his path will cross, leading him further into the darkness of the mountains, and the human soul."--Back cover.
