“Death Waits in the Dark finds ex-Shadow Wolf lawman, Arthur Makai, trying to do a favor for the widow of an old Marine Corps buddy and finds himself confronting an old enemy who’s threatening the Native Lands and gets involved in a mystery that shocks Makai to his core. Mark Edward Langley’s style is reminiscent of the great John D. MacDonald. Don’t miss this excellent second novel in this entertaining series. ~ Michael A. Black, author of Legends of the West, and Dying Art and Cold Fury in the Executioner series (as Don Pendleton).”
Michael A. Black, A Killing Frost

“The dead man seemed peaceful, harmless, like a discarded puppet, just an object. 'Seeing him as a kid's doll is my defense mechanism kicking in.”
John G. Bluck
