Carpe Ski ’em!

Phil Bayly’s Novel Celebrating Ski Life…Until Murder Muscles In

Two young men say they witnessed a woman plunge to her death. But the sheriff quickly determines that this was no accident. Did the skier fall from a chairlift high overhead, or was she pushed? And now her husband has vanished.    

A ski resort in Colorado is the deadly setting for Phil Bayly’s newest Murder on Skis Mystery… Carpe Ski ’em! 

Bayly’s own experience during his decade long stay as a college student (and ski bum!) in Colorado inspired his latest novel. “I’m particularly proud of this book because I found that the site I chose for the fictional Craters Ski Resort has now drawn its own backcountry skiers,” Bayly said. “We were curious about that spot back when I was in college, in the 1970s.”

Other books in Bayly’s award winning Murder on Skis series include A Small Mountain Murder and The Man Who Had 9 Lives. And local skiers and snowboarders will recognize Witch Window, set in Vermont, and Back Dirt which is set near Lake Placid.   

Carpe Ski ‘em tells the story of skiers and their
ski town, with a little murder and mayhem thrown in.
The book includes some of Bayly’s real-life adventures and is available at independent bookstores, Amazon and all popular online sites.

Readers in the Capital Region will remember Bayly from his years on television, at WNYT-Newschannel 13. Bayly was a journalist in television and radio for over four decades, beginning his career on radio in Colorado. He now lives in Upstate New York with his wife.
