Synopsis
While illegally digging for Anasazi pots in a cliff dwelling, Hubie grasps a human hand. He was hoping for an artifact, not a handshake and is puzzled by his discovery. The Anasazi did not bury their dead in their living quarters. A more pressing problem confronts him when he hears his truck drive away from the plain above the cliff. The rope he was planning to use to return to the surface was attached to the truck's winch. After a bizarre escape from the cliff dwelling, he is convinced to return by his sidekick Susannah who suspects the body was not a mummy but a contemporary person. But when Hubie descends a second time with her help, what he discovers defies all logic. It takes Hubie, Susannah, a coyote and Billy the Kid to finally figure out who was dead and why.

About the Author
Mike Orenduff grew up in a house so close to the Rio Grande that he could Frisbee a tortilla into Mexico. While in graduate school at the University of New Mexico, he worked during the summer as a volunteer teacher at one of the nearby pueblos. After receiving his M.A. at New Mexico and his Ph.D. at Tulane, he became a university professor. He went on to serve as President of New Mexico State University. His award-winning Pot Thief murder mysteries combines archaeology and philosophy with humor and mystery. Among his many awards are the Lefty national award for best humorous mystery, two Eppies for the best eBook mysteries and the New Mexico Book of the Year Award. His books have been described by The Baltimore Sun as funny at a very high intellectual level and deliciously delightful and by The El Paso Times as the perfect fusion of murder, mayhem and margaritas.
Review
The Pot Thief Who Studied Billy the Kid may be the strongest offering yet in J. Michael Orenduff's irresistible award-winning series. Witty, informed writing and smart, quirky characters take the readers to memorable settings---from a tiny Hispanic New Mexican village to the ranching country Billy The Kid called home and Albuquerque's Old Town. All in the interest of solving a crime that would have left Sheriff Pat Garrett shaking his head. --Anne Hillerman, Author
