David Housewright recommends
Wolf Kill (2021)
(Sam Rivers Mystery, book 1)
Cary J Griffith
"Wolf Kill is a terrific read! The writing is so good that you can feel the frigid winds blowing through this dark and masterfully crafted novel even as the suspense heats up. And the wolves are as magnificent and frightening as you could hope."
Anonymous (2020)
(Madison Kelly Mystery, book 1)
Elizabeth Breck
"A smart, tough female protagonist, a unique plot, fast-moving prose written with a steady hand and a startling conclusion make this superb debut novel from real-life PI Elizabeth Breck a must read."
Bad Samaritan (2018)
(Nick Forte Mystery, book 5)
Dana King
"Tough, taut, unsentimental, and as hard-boiled as a dinosaur egg; Dana King delivers a private-eye procedural that would make Joe Gores proud."
