WOLF KILL: A Sam Rivers Mystery by Cary Griffith - SPOTLIGHT & GIVEAWAY
In the outdoors thriller, WOLF KILL (AdventurePublications) the investigation of a bizarre wolf attack leads to evidence of murder, conspiracy, and shocking family secrets. We're heading up to the north country of Minnesota where you'll feel chills not only between the pages.
A decades-old promise haunts Sam Rivers, but the wildlife biologist refuses to return home—not with his abusive and estranged father still there. Rivers left the family farm some 20 years ago. He found solace in nature and built a respected career as a special agent for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. His experiences have given him a penchant for understanding predators—a skill he’ll need, now, more than ever.
After his father’s mysterious death, Rivers is lured back to his hometown of Defiance, in northern Minnesota, to fulfill his mother’s dying wish. But all is not as it seems. Rivers breaks into his childhood home during a howling winter storm and discovers something sinister. His suspicions are heightened after a bizarre wolf attack on local livestock. The events lead the special agent to a series of clues that could change everything he knows—or thinks he knows—about the town, his family, and himself.
With the help of alluring reporter Diane Talbott, Rivers must unravel the wolf kill and learn what really happened to his father—a man Rivers has hated for most of his life. It is a case unlike any he’s worked before. His knowledge of frigid winters, wolves, and wilderness will be put to the test, as he tries to solve the case—and stay alive.
In Wolf Kill, natural history writer Cary J. Griffith introduces readers to Sam Rivers, a predator’s predator, and weaves a masterful tale of danger and suspense in the far north. This is the first book in a new series introducing Sam Rivers.

When we first moved to Chicago, we went up to Michigan and came home to 21 inches of snow in our driveway.

When we lived in Gallup NM when my husband worked in a Uranium Mine near Gallup, the winters were very cold. About 2 weeks before Christmas we went to the woods to cut a Christmas tree, well it had snowed some , not too much. Well, we were on a little road and our car skidded a little, that was scary enough for me, we had our 1 and a half year old with us and I was 8 and a half months pregnant. Thank goodness my husband is a very good driver. Have a great rest of the week and stay safe. Thank you for the chance. aliciabhaney(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI have had many unpleasant and scary experiences during our long, severe and difficult winters. Getting stuck for hours in a blizzard and arriving home in the middle of the night, abandoning my car on the way home from work in another blizzard and having to shovel it out, trekking through the mountains of snow to school 4 times a day and dealing with ice on hilly roads which scared me to death. Finally enough was enough and I left the Great White North to a lovely climate with sunshine and warmth. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteWe live in a fairly mild climate, although we do have 4 seasons. One chilling winter experience happened when I was walking to our mailbox and slipped - boom! - on black ice!
