The Pot Thief Who Studied Georgia O'Keeffe
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A dealer in traditional Native American pottery, Hubie Schuze scours New Mexico in search of ancient treasures. The Bureau of Land Management calls him a criminal, but Hubie knows that the real injustice would be to leave the legacies of prehistoric craftspeople buried in the dirt.
In all his travels across the state, there is one place that Hubie hasn’t been able to access: Trinity Site at the White Sands Missile Range, where the first atomic bomb was detonated. Deep within the range are ruins once occupied by the Tompiro people, whose distinctive pottery is incredibly rare and valuable. When an old associate claims to have a buyer interested in spending big money on a Tompiro pot, Hubie resolves to finally find a way into the heavily guarded military installation.
But Hubie has more on his mind than just outwitting the army’s most sophisticated security measures. He’s in love with a beautiful woman who has a few secrets of her own—and his best friend, Susannah, may have just unearthed a lost Georgia O’Keeffe painting. It’s a lot for a mild-mannered pot thief to handle, and when his associate is murdered and Tompiro pots start replicating like Russian nesting dolls, Hubie suddenly realizes he’s caught up in the most complex and dangerous mystery he’s ever faced.
The Pot Thief Who Studied Georgia O’Keeffe is the 7th book in the Pot Thief Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

- bioText: J. Michael Orenduff grew up in a house so close to the Rio Grande that he could Frisbee a tortilla into Mexico from his backyard. While studying for an MA at the University of New Mexico, he worked during the summer as a volunteer teacher at one of the nearby pueblos. After receiving a PhD from Tulane University, he became a professor. He went on to serve as president of New Mexico State University.
Orenduff took early retirement from higher education to write his award-winning Pot Thief murder mysteries, which combine archaeology and philosophy with humor and mystery. Among the author’s many accolades are the Lefty Award for best humorous mystery, the Epic Award for best mystery or suspense ebook, and the New Mexico Book Award for best mystery or suspense fiction. His books have been described by the Baltimore Sun as “funny at a very high intellectual level” and “deliciously delightful,” and by the El Paso Times as “the perfect fusion of murder, mayhem and margaritas.” - name: J.

In Orenduff’s enjoyable seventh Pot Thief mystery (after 2013’s The Pot Thief Who Studied Billy the Kid), Hubert Schuze, the Albuquerque, N.Mex., pot thief, learns of a buyer looking for a pot made by the Tompiro people. Schuze thinks he can find one on the prohibited, heavily guarded White Sands Missile Range. With the aid of friend and accomplice Susannah Inchaustigui, he manages to get into the target area and find a valuable pot, but he’s forced to bury it and leave the area without it. Schuze concocts an elaborate plan to retrieve the pot, only to find it gone. The real pot and at least one fake tantalize a bewildering number of collectors, one of whom becomes a murder victim. Schuze and Susannah’s clever word play, a torn canvas that may be an unknown O’Keeffe, and nods to several classic mysteries add to the fun. Agent: Philip Turner Book Productions.

Santa Fe, NM, dealer Hubert Schuze liberates ancient pots from their burial spots, much to the dismay of the Bureau of Land Management. In the seventh series entry (after The Pot Thief Who Studied Billy the Kid), Hubie is asked to find a Tompiro pot for a collector, but then the middleman is found dead. In addition, Hubie's friend may have unearthed a lost Georgia O'Keeffe painting. Plenty of fascinating archaeological details here.

Anyone who has never met Hubie Schuze should know that when he says he's a pot thief, he doesn't mean the kind of pot you light on fire and inhale. He means actual pots: ancient pots, to be specific, found, dug up, and sold for a tidy profit by Hubie. In the latest Pot Thief mystery, Hubie wants to get his hands on a valuable Tompiro pot (the Tompiro Indians being a tribe who lived in and around New Mexico in the seventeenth century), but the pot is on the grounds of the White Sands Missile Range, a heavily guarded military installation. When one of Hubie's friends is murdered, Hubie realizes there are people who don't want him to get his hands on the pot, which makes him want it even more. Fans of the series will flock to this latest installment, and readers who haven't made Hubie's acquaintance should be encouraged to do so. This nice mix of comedy and mystery pairs perfectly with Johnny Shaw's Big Maria, in which three lovable losers hunt for a gold mine on a military test-bombing site.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
