Over The Edge

By Marc Paul Kaplan

Jackson Hole, Wyoming, winter 1969:  Two dangerous men on a collision course that can only end in tragedy.

Matthew Green, a physically and mentally scarred Vietnam Vet, prone to terrifying flashbacks, hopes for a respite in Jackson Hole from his brutal past. Franky Fiorini, an educated but corrupt junior member of a New York mob family, is sent to Jackson Hole in search of the informant who betrayed his father. Neither man knows the other, but their paths are about to cross in a most unexpected way.

Marc Paul Kaplan's debut thriller crackles with energy and conflict, vividly capturing the anything-goes atmosphere of a burgeoning ski resort in the modern wild west.

“Not much in everyday life gives me an adrenaline rush, but this book did.  I’m ready for a road trip to Jackson Hole.”
	Jeff Hamilton 1st Person to Ski 150 MPH and 4X Skiing World Champion
“Over The Edge is crime thriller, a love story, and remarkably knowledgeable and compelling tale about skiing.”
	Richard A. Lupoff Author of Quintet:  The Cases of Chase and Delacroix
“A quick paced read . . . takes the reader through the trees and over some bumps without destroying any knees.”
	Dana Dugan, Reviewer/Staff Writer Idaho Mountain Express
“Kaplan has fashioned a taut thriller that I didn’t want to put down.”
	Darren Sutherland, Reviewer Wood River Journal, Idaho
“From great character development to a fascinating read, Mr. Kaplan has hit the mark with a first rate first novel. I thought I picked up a skiing book, but it is only the setting, not the terrific story threading its way through it. You won't be disappointed.”
	J. L. Coran on Amazon
"Kaplan writes with an eye for visual detail and a breathless style, with punchy sentences that whisk readers through the action."
