"Set in Jackson Hole where the Old West merges with upscale art galleries and adrenaline adventures" art dealer Alix Thorssen balances her love of beauty with her drive to find justice in these four complete mystery novels, originally published in hardcover from 1994 to 2001.

From an Indian Reservation to whitewater kayaking, from the icy secrets during a winter carnival to the howl of the lone wolf, Alix - stoic, loving, and strong - strives to do her best when confronted with evil. A Montanan of Norwegian descent she is also looking for love. Like many young women she isn't ready to settle down. There are too many adventures out there in the wild, wild West.

Bonus content: two short stories featuring Alix.

"Lise McClendon gives us a good idea, a wonderful setting, and skillful writing. You'll like it." -- Tony Hillerman, bestselling author

What reviewers are saying about the Alix Thorssen Mysteries:

"McClendon really captures the heart of her characters. I loved this book." -- Bestselling author Karin Slaughter

Her agreeably feisty heroine and a hair-raising finale will keep readers entertained throughout the night -- Publisher's Weekly

Wyoming flora and fauna are lovingly described alongside sharp dialogue and good pacing in this readable, down-to-earth mystery, which is refreshingly free of a histrionic heroine-in-danger finale. Recommend to fans of the outdoorsy and witty Nevada Barr and Dana Stabenow novels. -- Booklist

No matter where she sets her novels or what adventures befall her characters, one thing is certain. Strong female characters always populate a Lise McClendon novel. -- Yellowstone Valley Woman

"McClendon weaves a persuasive story, as haunting as the landscape it occupies" -- San Diego Union-Tribune

"An extremely satisfying mystery whose intricate plot kept me guessing. It's a rare book that can keep me riveted to its pages and have me reaching for tissues at the end. This one did. I give it my highest recommendation." -- Mystery News

"Great characters. Excellent descriptions of the unusual setting. Excellent work all around." -- Amazon reviewer
