Fascinating, often humorous, every book in the Hell Series is a valuable addition to any home library.

The climb begins with Murder On Everest, and its prequel Abandoned On Everest, then continues with Murder On Elbrus, Murder On Mt. McKinley, Murder On Puncak Jaya, Murder On Aconcagua, Murder On Vinson Massif , and the amazing finale is Murder On Kilimanjaro.

Murder on Aconcagua Today Irion Books announces the much anticipated release of the fifth book in their Summit Murder Mystery Series, Murder on Aconcagua. One of the most unique series ever written, the Summit Murder Mystery Series is co-authored by Charles G. Irion and Ronald J. Watkins, and is set at the peaks of the highest mountains on the world’s seven continents. Remote, inaccessible, they are the crown jewels of climbing. They are the world’s deadliest mountains, and deaths from falls, avalanches, illness, heart attacks, and high altitude sickness, are a matter of course. Add in murder to the mix, and you get seven of the most original and exciting murder mysteries ever written. Inspired by Charles Irion’s 1987 attempt to climb Mt. Everest, and his 2011 climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro, each book offers the story of a little known region of the world. The authors promise you will encounter bizarre customs, ancient taboos, political intrigue, and ethnic conflicts, and Murder on Aconcagua is no exception. In Murder on Aconcagua, Irion says, “Our hero not only battles the brutal elements of the Aconcagua summit, but the determined greed of a murderer.” The book’s synopsis tells us that hero Scott Devlon is once again sent by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency on another climbing expedition. This time the mountain is Aconcagua, the highest in South America. His mission is to confirm a report that three Inca golden idols have been discovered and are headed to Venezuelan strongman, Hugo Chavez. Legend says he who possesses them is invincible. Scott’s assignment is to prevent that from taking place but he quickly learns that there are those who will stop at nothing, including murder, to get their hands on the idols.

Through this contest, we want to get feedback from the people whose opinions truly matter ... our readers!"

The seventh and final book, Murder On Kilimanjaro will be what Irion promises is the "crown jewel of our Summit Murder Mystery series. We are very excited about this book. It will be full of non-stop action and tie the entire series together." In order to do research for the plot of Murder On Kilimanjaro, Irion actually climbed the mighty mountain himself in June 2011.

Our hero Scott Devlon will be helping the President get off the mountain after his son is murdered."

The book that started it all is Murder On Everest, which finds the series' hero Scott Devlon returning to the mountain to retrieve the body of a friend, Derek Sodoc, who died during their initial summit attempt. Sodoc's influential Father is convinced Derek didn't die from the elements and hopes by sending the same team back up to retrieve Derek's body, the truth of what really happened will be revealed.
