Welcome the ghosts of miners, railroaders, ladies of the night, and lost tribes as they join you on thoughtfully curated walking tours of Park City, Utah. A Walker's Guide to Park City introduces you to thirty walks around the town, the ski resorts, public parks, and sumptuous suburbs. Backpacks and hiking boots are not required. Almost all of these walks are on paved paths and smooth trails and are less than four miles (6.4 km) in length. Long before Park City evolved into a ski town and one of the world's best-loved resort destinations, its canyons served as a thoroughfare for trappers and traders. In the mid-nineteenth century, the region became a Mormon agricultural outpost occupied by homesteaders and lumberjacks, and a gateway to the California Gold Rush. When prospectors discovered silver in the local mountains, Park City morphed into a bawdy Old West mining town, settled by fortune seekers, rugged adventurers, and immigrant laborers from around the globe. Millions of people now visit Park City to ski and bicycle its Olympic slopes and terrain parks, and attend the Sundance Film Festival, without knowing that this scenic sportsman's paradise is a fascinating place to explore on foot. Reclaimed railways, old mine roads, pedestrian friendly neighborhoods, and thousands of acres of preserved open space endow Park City with an expansive network of diverse and well-maintained walkways. With new trails and connections continuously being added, this guidebook will become your most valued companion as you find your way through the maze of more than four hundred miles of paths and trails traversing the urban and wild landscapes of this alluring alpine community. Included with the maps and directions for each of these walks are distances, elevations, difficulty ratings, and descriptions of notable features.

When falsified patient records and sabotaged equipment afflict the operating rooms of a community hospital, anesthesiologist Chester Dolans believes that he, his colleagues, and his patients are being put at risk to make it appear that the hospital's current management is incompetent.\nOne night, a nurse-anesthetist is assaulted in the hospital parking lot and left to make it look like he was a drug abuser who overdosed. That makes the rest of the doctors fearful about how far a big corporation might go to pursue a hospital takeover. 
In their anxiety, some of the physicians start to turn on each other, while their leader hobnobs with hospital trustees and plots with other doctors to try to block the sale. Simultaneously, a newly hired anesthesiologist, Doctor Madeline Laurier, puts the reputations of all the physicians at risk with her unprofessional behavior.\nIs Accretia HealthCare, a for-profit corporation, responsible for the problems that plague this medical practice, or are multiple mishaps just unfortunate coincidences? FBI Special Agent Lenore Menaker takes on this case to try to answer that question.
