Blood of the Wolf (Trask Brothers Murder Mystery #12)

She heard the throaty growl, deep and low, before she saw the eyes - glowing orbs in the night. By then it was too late."Nelson is a great storyteller. The Trask Brothers mysteries are not to be missed."

When a biologist working at the Wolf Center is found dead, possibly killed by a wolf, sheriff Dave Trask is only mildly interested. Wolves are housed and studied at the Wolf Center, and it is on property owned by the Lax Lake tribe, so the tribal police will be responsible to look into her death. But when Dave views the scene, he and the police chief from Lax Lake suspect that this may have been murder – and that makes it Dave’s problem.

Dave soon discovers his suspect list is long - protestors who feel the Wolf Center is cruel to the animals, ranchers who want to see the wolves that kill their livestock eliminated, and some in the tribe who wish to see the Wolf Center property used for a new casino. As Dave digs deeper, he also finds no shortage of potential suspects among the staff at the Wolf Center.

When another biologist is murdered, Dave races to sort through the suspects to stop a killer more deadly than the wolf.

Readers of John Sanford, William Kent Krueger, Tami Hoag, James Patterson, Declan James, Drew Strickland and like authors will enjoy this fast-paced mystery.
