Murder at the Jumpoff

the long version

"When Donald MacIntyre, an avid off-trail hiker, fails to return from a quest to bushwhack through difficult terrain up to the top of the Jumpoff, a dramatic cliff in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the good-natured back country ranger Hector Jones leads a search and rescue team into the remote depths of the Greenbrier section of the park and discovers the body. From the nature of MacIntyre's injuries, it's clear he had fallen - or been pushed - from the top." -- book cover
