4. The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras

by J. Michael Orenduff.

It takes place in Albuquerque, and I live n Santa Fe. I usually love books set in a place I know pretty well.

Some years back I picked up a book and on the first page the Nine Mile Woods is mentioned. It (which is a fictional name) is alongside the Nine Mile Creek, a real creek, which flowed through the small town in upstate New York that I lived in as a child. Yep, the book took place in that town, although the author renamed it, and names various other places right around it that I knew well.

I just love a book like that.
