The Pot Thief who Studied Ptolemy by J. Michael Orenduff is another book in the his Pot Thief series starring Hubert (“Hubie”) Schuze a pottery store owner in the Old Town section of Albuquerque. He has flexible hours at his store, he counts among his friends a crooked cop, a priest, and a Basque afternoon margarita drinking companion. He also disagrees with the United States Congress on policies regarding digging for pots on public lands. And he has talents for picking locks and fooling security systems. He is a very resourceful guy and a lot of fun.

In this book he finds out about some sacred pots that belong to the San Roque Pueblo. He wants to return the pots, well, maybe most of them, to the pueblo but they are in a condo complex with a very good security system where he has to use all his talents.

If you would like an interesting, lively mystery, steeped in New Mexican culture this book is for you.

I give this book four stars out of five. Check out the Kindle version on Amazon. It is only $4.59!!! It is a bargain.
