Ice Claw by David Gilman

Recently I wrote about Devil's Breath by David Gilman.  The next book in Gilman's Danger Zone series is Ice Claw.  Max is in the French Alps for an extreme sports competition when he and his best friend narrowly escape an avalanche.  Later, back in town, he helps a girl get out of an attack by a motorcycle gang.  This gets him noticed by the wrong criminal element--and then he witnesses the murder of a priest.  Max senses something else, bigger and sinister is going on, so he follows his instinct and begins investigating the murder of the priest.

This story is action-packed and exciting with the very likable main character, Max Gordan.  The plot includes elements of science, astrology, international endangered species, and a very very sinister bad guy.
