The Mountain (Ryan Decker Book 3)

Isn't it great when a new book arrived on your kindle, especially when you forgot about it, and here we have Book 3 in the Ryan Decker series....Investigating a missing persons case on Murder Mountain means looking for trouble in a propulsive thriller by the author of The Raid.When someone disappears on Northern California’s lawless Murder Mountain, it isn’t news. The vast terrain for illegal marijuana harvests is also a notorious black hole for outsiders. But when that someone is the family friend of the persuasive and righteous Senator Steele, finding him becomes covert investigator Ryan Decker’s mission.For Decker, the risks of infiltrating a multi-billion-dollar outlaw industry are greater than he could possibly understand. Especially when that industry has flourished into the profitable backbone of a secretive and influential DC-based think tank. And protecting its untraceable revenue in the Emerald Triangle is a band of ruthless white nationalists.What begins as a seemingly straightforward favour soon pulls Decker and his partner, Harlow Mackenzie, into a high-stakes conspiracy linked to the most cold-blooded puppet masters and power brokers in the country. The harder Decker and Harlow work to expose the insidious faction, the harder it’ll be to make it out of Murder Mountain alive.Steven Konkoly delivers a thrilling action thriller, action packed, current event relevant story to keep every reader fully engaged from beginning to end. Decker and Harlow are knee deep trying to decipher the mystery of the Murder Mountain. The mountain is known for its small illegal marijuana farms but something more sinister and deadly brings Decker and crew snooping at its core.Steve Konkoly brings together a fast paced book, great action, good chemistry, great characters, good and bad, full explosive stunts, and continues this series as a great series to follow, you just cannot dislike Ryan Decker and the great Harlow and her teamA great and easy four stars...

If you are going to select one series to follow; one that gives you nigh on non-stop action, sarky dialogue, government conspiracies and, of course, more firepower than you can throw a frag grenade at, then you could do a lot worse than to follow Decker and his crew. This is the third book in the series and, having read all three, this is as good as ever. The plots have some real thought behind them; you will not find that in many similar styled series or one offs. The protagonists are likeable. The conversations don’t make you cringe. There’s a lot to be said for such a series.There are other great books out there of course. All I’d say is that adding this series to your library would be no bad thing.

Another thrilling ride for Ryan Decker and his motley crew. this time he is asked to look into a missing person on behalf of Senator Steele. What starts off as a simple investigation turns into something nobody could expect and rapidly escalates into something only Decker could find himself involved in.Great story and will keep you hooked to the end

Far fetched beyond credibility is the basic premise of this story. Good descriptions of military weapons and tactics-clearly the writer has learned well from his experiences. But the story.........poor. Better to end this series now which is running on fumes at this point. Very disappointing.

The Mountain, third in the Ryan Decker series, is a great tale. Very detailed and descriptive with a thundering good plot that digs heavily into the seamier side of life with horrendous criminals and an assortment of often confused government agencies. The whole series is packed with violence, both gratuitous and necessary.It took a while to get into the detailed and descriptive prose, but it is very much worthwhile.The Mountain is a terrific read.

Excellent book, a real page turner as usual with Steven. It is good to read books 1 and 2, but if you haven’t, you will still enjoy this book. The characters are all vivid, strong women too. There is a lot of action. The story begins with the death of the son of Senator Steele’s friend. She rings the Senator who offers to help and so the story starts.. Luckily for us its end is obviously another story. Looking forward to it.

Another action packed 5 star thill for all action fans in this novel. The storyline expertly crafted, well written and highly engaging from cover to cover. It’s the third in the series and a great read on itself. However, The Raid and the Rescue are also great reads. The character development is done at a nice pace too... well worth the read for action and military genre fans.

I really like the Ryan Decker books and this one doesn’t disappoint. I know very little about the USA so I can only hope the storyline is unrealistic but that doesn’t matter. It’s just a good yarn and since finishing “The Mountain” I’ve gone back and re-read the first two in the series ready to move on to No. 4.
