Wolves howl as a riderless horse returns at sunset to the Culpepper Dude Ranch in the Madison Valley. The missing woman, Nanika Martinelli, is better known as the Fly Fishing Venus, a red-haired river guide who lures clients the way dry flies draw trout. As Sheriff Martha Ettinger follows hoof tracks in the snow, she finds one of the men who has fallen under the temptress' spell impaled on the antler tine of a giant bull elk, a kill that' s been claimed by a wolf pack. An accident? If not, is the killer human or animal? With painter, fly fisherman, and sometimes private detective Sean Stranahan's help, Ettinger will follow clues that point to an animal rights group called the Clan of the Three-Clawed Wolf and to their svengali master, whose eyes blaze with pagan fire.

A very interesting story with lots of twists and turns listen turns and really humanity. It's nice to be involved with characters that are just basically kind and decent and real all at the same time.

A really great story

The third in the Sean Stranahan series continues to develop characters and their relationships to one another. There is just enough tension among characters that it's hard to know how relationships will ultimately fall, and that is just one part of why the book is so good.
A great read for those interested in mysteries and who fancy a few twists and turns throughout a story.

Mixture of mystery, humor and great geographical backdrop for the storyline. His writing makes you feel like you're right there with the characters in the middle of Montana and the mountains watching everything unfold as it happens.

He gets it great with fishing all things outdoors man relationships but when it comes to writing what women would say or do he is awkward

Mclaferty Has difficulty writing about women.

I'm still enjoying this series. Keith McCafferty has a way of writing to make you feel as though you are actually there and watching the story as it unfolds. Rick Holmes gives all the characters a distinct voice and brings the story to life.

Still enjoying
