As the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's top agent, Buck Taylor is used to solving tough cases. But when he is tasked with solving two mysterious and high-profile crimes, he knows he's in for his biggest challenge yet. In one small town, recent college graduate Dee Highwater is celebrating her success with her Native American family when she disappears without a trace. In another town, Professor Dale Carmichael and four of his students are embarking on a research expedition in the remote Weminuche Wilderness Area to determine if “ghost” grizzlies still live in Colorado.

Buck and his partner, CBI Agent Ashley Baxter, are thrust into a dangerous conspiracy involving dermestid beetles, infrasound weapons, and a Cold War bunker. As they race against time to unravel the truth, Buck and Ashley soon realize that one of the crimes may be the perfect crime, while the other holds a dark secret that could change the course of history. With powerful emotions and heart-pounding suspense, this fast-paced investigative adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Crime Conspiracy: A Buck Taylor Novel is a mystery novel written by Chuck Morgan. Dee Hightower had finally finished her coursework for her degree in psychology. While most of her coursework had been completed online, she had to sit for her final exams in person at Fort Lewis College in Durango. When she was finished with her last exam, she called her husband to tell him she was on her way home. Her husband, who had fallen asleep waiting for her, woke up at 1:00 A.M., hours after she should have been home. A search party was quickly organized, but Dee seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth. She had been missing for a week when Buck Taylor got a call from Kevin Jackson, his boss and the director of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Ten women had disappeared in Colorado in the last four years, and the governor was involved in this one. When Buck got to the Sheriff’s Office in Montezuma County, Sheriff Reuben Garcia was waiting for him. If anyone could find Dee Hightower, Sheriff Garcia was sure Buck would be the one.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Chuck Morgan’s Crime Conspiracy is the sixth book in his Buck Taylor series, but the author gives enough background information throughout the story to allow it to be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. Morgan’s plot is thought-provoking, giving readers much to consider as Buck investigates the disappearance of Dee Hightower. The secondary plot concerning the fate of Professor Carmichael’s “ghost grizzly” survey team in the Weminuche Wilderness Area is a bonus for readers, giving them an additional mystery to solve. Morgan’s characters are well-defined and authentic, and while this was my first Buck Taylor novel, I soon felt as though Buck was an old friend. Crime Conspiracy bristles with red herrings and pesky evidence rules that are true-to-life, and I had a grand time reading it. Crime Conspiracy is most highly recommended.

Crime Conspiracy: A Buck Taylor Novel is Book 6 of the series by Chuck Morgan, where we team up with Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) Buck Taylor as he is tasked with solving two most intriguing and high-profile mysteries. Dee Highwater is a Native American woman with the world at her feet, having just completed her final graduation exam at Fort Lewis College, and now drives home to her loving family in a heady haze of excited emotion. In another part of Colorado, Professor Dale Carmichael is also embarking on a most anticipated trip into the Weminuche Wilderness Area, where he is taking four of his students on a research expedition to verify whether grizzlies still remain in the area. These two disparate journeys become triggers that lead Buck and his close associate, CBI Agent Ashley Baxter (Bax,) to inexplicable mysteries, terrifying revelations, and political machinations that will hold you spellbound in the grip of this fast paced investigative adventure until the last word is revealed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I found Chuck Morgan’s Crime Conspiracy to be a wonderfully compelling read, containing a superbly crafted plot that finely balances the many facets of this complex and dramatic story. All of the characters were unique and engaging, and some were positioned nicely to build on the mystique within the story; Deputy Sheriff Scott Sage was one such player that carried this potential, which was established in a very subtle way. The thing that Crime Conspiracy does perhaps best of all is to reflect what true reality is, where there are no black or white answers; life more often than not comes in shades of gray, and this book is painted in all of the richness of that color. This is a book you can’t put down, which will entertain you on many levels, and at times make your skin crawl; the kind of book that remains in your thoughts long after you finish reading.
