Editorial Reviews

In this important new episode in Jason Black's life, action heats up even as the forests of the Adirondacks lose their last red and gold and the streets and homes of Old Forge begin to swirl with snow. Newly wed to Patty, and still companioned by his faithful K-9 Ruben, the experienced detective is called upon to solve a dangerous mystery of robbery and near-arson and then much more! Again... John Briant has given us a compelling insider's tale of the town and region he knows so well and loves.

John Briant describes the Adirondacks like a master painter. But then he zooms in to illuminate the corruption or heroism of the people who either defile or fight to preserve life in the midst of nature's abundance. We see all this through the hardened eyes of PI Jason Black who clearly loves these precious mountains. We are in good hands for the treacherous climb.

Ed Dee

Private Detective Jason Black is back and better than ever. In fact, Black is almost as good in fictional life as his creator, retired New York State Police Investigator John Briant, was in real life. And that makes Black a darn good detective. If you like the Adirondacks and enjoy a good story, you'll love Adirondack Detective III, written by someone who has been there and done that.

Joe Kelly

Private Investigator/retired cop Jason Black continues his quest for a life of peace and quiet in the idyllic Adirondack Mountains; however, crime, adventure and danger seem to confront him at every fork and turn in the road. Many good friends and his love for beautiful Patty... keep him on track as he strives to rid his beloved environment of crime. Adirondack Detective III continues the delightful saga that will establish Jason Black, ala, John Briant as an Adirondack hero and eventual legend.
