High Crimes is both an adventure story and an exposé of a sport riddled with danger and corruption." <br> --<i>Washington Post Book World</i></p> <P> "Kodas's descriptions of the struggles confronting even the best-prepared climbers leave the reader breathless." <br> --<i>Dallas Morning News</i></p> <P> "[High Crimes] is hair-raising and lays bare the excitement and fear that face great explorers at the top of the world. . . . Well written, and as deftly plotted as the finest mystery novel, Kodas brings to life a disturbing picture of society at high altitude." <br> --<i>Austin Chronicle</i></p> <P> "Kodas does an excellent job exposing the ways in which money and ego have corrupted the traditional cultures of both mountaineers and their Sherpa guides. . . . His narrative is as hard to turn away from as a slow-motion train wreck." <br> --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p> <P><i>High Crimes</i> is journalist Michael Kodas's gripping account of life on top of the world--where man is every bit as deadly as Mother Nature.</p> 6818085 5 5 2009 High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed total:7|5:1|4:4|3:1|2:1|1:0| 7 26 8 1 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 3 0 false Thu Aug 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 19:52:51 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 15:34:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 5 0 false Thu Dec 03 08:22:39 -0800 2009 Thu Dec 03 08:22:39 -0800 2009 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 4 0 false Sat Aug 29 09:53:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 22:45:38 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 09:53:00 -0700 2009 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 2 0 false Tue Aug 25 21:06:56 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 21:06:56 -0700 2009 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 4 0 false Wed Oct 07 17:09:01 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 20:20:13 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 17:09:01 -0700 2009 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 4 0 false Wed Jul 29 09:50:18 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 09:50:18 -0700 2009 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 4 0 false Mon Jul 20 16:03:13 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 16:03:19 -0700 2009 6623871 1401309844 9781401309848 7 1 3.71 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255886344m/6623871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623871-high-crimes 0 0 false Fri Jul 17 16:27:58 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 16:27:58 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6623871
