Publisher's summary

When a man careens off the road into the frigid waters of the Chautauqua River, Chief Detective David Wolf risks his own life to bring the man to shore. News of Wolf's bravery travels fast through the burgeoning ski town of Rocky Points, Colorado, and before long he's pulled into the political grinder, where candidates are eager to exploit Wolf's character for their own gain.

Injured as well in the process, it seems his heroic deed was some cruel twist of fate, that is, until he meets Lauren Coulter, a new girl in town and a nurse at the local hospital. Lauren is smart, beautiful, and just Wolf's type. The connection between them is there. But just as they get started, so does the killing. And as bodies start emerging, so do the secrets from Lauren's troubled past.

Has fate steered Wolf to the wrong woman? Or is someone more devious behind the wheel? Lives will depend on how fast Wolf can come up with the answer, and this time, living with failure will prove to be something much worse than death.

Most intense Story yet

Exceptional story, could be a stand-alone novel. I hope Mr. Carson is pounding the keys with my favorite lawman Wolf. Thanks Jeff, for another exceptional story.

Checks ALL the Boxes

Jeff Carson knows how to write action/thriller stories. He also knows how to create a hero, which he proves again with another great David Wolf adventure. Wolf is one of those characters that's easy to identify with. He's smart, strong, moral, and imperfect. He's constantly going above and beyond because it's simply what he believes: he'll do whatever it takes to keep people safe and bring the bad guys to justice. Simple and sweet.

While Wolf's goals are easily defined, he, as a man, is not. He's more complex than people realize. Actually, he's probably more complex than he would admit. I have a feeling he would consider himself a simple man. But his actions toward his family, colleagues, friends, and lawbreakers suggest differently.

This story introduces us to a new character and possible love interest for Wolf. She's a nurse, and definitely his type... including all the skeletons she's hiding in her closet. This woman has as much baggage, as many demons, as Wolf himself. Sounds like a match to me. But fans know how his love life works. Someone catches his eye, and that's when the bullets start to fly. I would suggest he give celibacy a try, but what would be the fun in that? This way we, the readers, get all the adventure, deceit, politics, and bittersweet romance. No question why this series is so popular.

Perfect addition to the series...

Each installment of this series brings our MC David Wolf more trials.
I've been listening to this series one right after the other and I can't stop!

People need to stop shooting at Detective Wolf!
