The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras - Softcover
When a shady character offers him $25,000 to steal a thousand-year-old pot from the Valle del Rio Museum, Hubert Schuze knows he should turn it down. His pot digging may be illegal, but it's a big step from that to robbery. But he figures it can't hurt just to visit the museum and assay his chances. He figured wrong. After deciding the museum is impregnable, he returns to his shop to find a BLM agent who accuses him of stealing the rare pot. Theft charges escalate to murder. Hubert's powerful deductive skills and weak nerves are put to the test as he solves the crime and clears himself.

About the Author:
Mike Orenduff grew up in a house so close to the Rio Grande that he could Frisbee a flour tortilla into Mexico from his back yard. He and his wife, the art historian Lai Chew Orenduff, currently split their time between south Georgia and their Greenwich Village pied-a-terre which is on the same block as Bernie Rhodenbarr's fictional Barnaget Books and Carolyn Kaiser's Poodle Factory. And if you're not familiar with those two establishments, you aren't reading enough murder mysteries.
Review:
May fill Hillerman's shoes. --The Gallup Herald
The dialogue is fresh and witty, reminiscent of sparkling Thirties screwball comedies with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn bouncing off each others' energy and zinging home tart observations. The wry Hubert makes the perfect foil for insouciant Susannah. --Lou Allin, author of Man Corn Murders.
Orenduff is a master of his craft. He pulls you in by a thread and masterfully winds the story around his characters. Prepare for a sleepless night. I couldn t put it down. --Marie Romero Cash, author of Tortilla Chronicles
