N.Y.: Bantam, 1996. 1st ed., with complete number line beginning with 1. Near fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover.An exceedingly wet spring in Aspen, Colorado, seems to have dampened the need for a caterer, so Davidson's caterer-sleuth Goldy Schulz is not in a position to refuse her friend Maria's urging to cater a reception for Prospect Financial Partners' wealthy investors at the Eurydice Gold Mine. Despite risks of rock and mud slides from the saturated ground, Goldy grimly hauls her equipment up into the mountains--only to witness Maria openly engaged in verbal warfare with one of the company's partners over the validity of an assay report on the mine's prospects. When that partner disappears the next day with more than $3 million in investor funds and the other partner--Maria's current boyfriend--also goes missing, Maria is arrested on suspicion of murder. Goldy, of course, is determined to help despite the active discouragement of her policeman-husband. Davidson serves up yet another spirited romp in the Colorado Rockies, with Goldy's excellent recipes again interspersed amid the sleuthing.. 1st Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Book.
