[at-l] Well, I'm sending it

Mark <nickpvb@bellsouth.net> wrote:I've got it. A new PBS Mystery series, "Murder along the AT". Bear with
me. Its the story of an ATC recruiter who is thru-hiking the trail with a
funky collection of characters. He or she is to give talks every 50 miles
about the AT, but the trek is interupted by illegal logging, road
construction, equipment breakdown and many startling "shelter moments". The
title comes from a murder that took place years before, which our daring
hiker, cell phone in hand, proceeds to figure out with the help of a CSI
like investigation (sibling is an attractive CSI working in "pick your
nearby city"). The investigation runs the length of the series, each show
runs the length of a section. Our daring lead hiker ends each episode with
a speech to the public, a cross between Capt Kirk and Marlin Perkins. The
brief insightful talk about conservation practices woven with political
commentary and inside jokes.
Episode One - "The Boots that never left Georgia"

For years, I've tried to get Nevada Barr to set one of her novels on the AT.
She always sets them in a national park. She didn't like the idea that it
was a linear park, which would make it hard to write a mystery about.
However, she's now written two on the Natchez Trace, which is also linear.
Of course, she did that because she married the man who's manager of the
Mississippi section of the Natchez Trace, so she could write without leaving
home. anklebear
