The Pot Thief Who Studied D. H. Lawrence by J Michael Orenduff

Trapped in a cave dwelling, Hubie stumbles upon a not-so-ancient mystery Although his work is technically illegal, Hubie Schuze has no qualms with digging up ancient Native American artifacts. The government calls him a thief, but Hubie thinks of himself as a treasure hunter-and his latest quest could be his last. After lowering himself into a cave in search of Anasazi pottery, Hubie uncovers a long-dead corpse, buried where the Anasazi would never have left a body. As he puzzles over this discovery, he hears a chilling sound: his truck, left behind on the cliff face, being driven away. Stranded in the cave, the pot thief has only a corpse to keep him company. After a narrow escape, Hubie returns with his best friend, Susannah, to try to identify the dead man. What they find instead is a mystery that takes them back not to the days before Columbus, but to the Wild West of Billy the Kid.
Fresh and witty, reminiscent of sparkling Thirties screwball comedies-Lou Allin, author of Man Corn Murders, on The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras
Funny at a very high intellectual level and deliciously delightful. -The Baltimore Sun on The Pot Thief Who Studied Escoffier

J.Michael Orenduff grew raised in a home so close to the Rio Grande that he could throw a tortilla into Mexico from his back yard. He worked as a volunteer teacher at one of the nearby pueblos during the summer while pursuing an MA at the University of New Mexico. He became a professor after getting his PhD from Tulane University. He went on to lead New Mexico State University as its president. Orenduff left college school early to write his award-winning Pot Thief murder mysteries, which blend archaeology, philosophy, humor, and mystery.

The Lefty Award for best hilarious mystery, the Epic Award for best mystery or suspense ebook, and the New Mexico Book Award for best mystery or suspense fiction are among the author's many awards. The Baltimore Sun called his works delectably lovely and funny on a very high intellectual level, while the El Paso Times called them the perfect blend of murder, mayhem, and margaritas.
