Sleeping in bars and run-down hotels, he made a similar hard-class journey through Africa and India. Mr. Carrier, a retired teacher and businessman, is a recreational mountain climber and collector of rare 19th century books. He is also a mountain climber, a reader of the classics, and a collector of early 19th century rare books. He lives in Utah with his family. Finding Sagrado is his first published novel.
