Not bad. A cop is called in by the family of a friend who dies in an apparent rock climbing accident. The family (and the cop) feel that is unlikely, since the dead guy was an expert climber.
I was somewhat annoyed by the final conclusion. The prologue was designed to steer the reader away from a particular resolution - and then, after wandering through all sorts of likely and unlikely causes, he drops the bomb. I dislike having a mystery writer deliberately set out to mislead the reader. Smacks of ineptness on his part.
