Thomas Zigal

The Toby Press reprint of Into Thin Air is now available.

"This taut mystery offers everything a reader could want--an offbeat, likeable hero; an intriguing locale, rendered with humor and a fine sense of nuance; supple, polished writing; and a crackling plot."


"This is a terrifically strong and wonderfully humane new voice in crime fiction. Like the Roaring Fork River that runs through Aspen, the action-packed plot twists and turns, then plunges through a rocky, icy canyon, but never slows down.... This is one fine novel. I can't wait for the next in the series."


"If Graham Greene had ever cast his keen eye upon the morally skewed hothouse world of Aspen, Colorado, the novel he would have written is Into Thin Air."


"Zigal has written an outstanding first novel: he introduces a textured, fully developed detective, places him in a rich environment ripe with fictional possibilities, and surrounds him with a terrific supporting cast."


"This is an unusually fine first mystery and should win many fans who will rejoice to learn that Zigal is working on a second Muller story. Highly recommended."


"The best recent read of a book about or set in Aspen this year."


"Wrestling with his demons and the equally elusive bad guys amid some spectacular scenery, the immensely likable sheriff is just the sort most of us would want to see on the job--and in more adventures like this one."


"A promising debut. Plot aside, what makes Into Thin Air such a pleasure is its setting. Zigal nails Aspen with the authority of a native."


"Engaging and often darkly funny, with a cataclysmic climax that is both wrenching and credible."
