When a caller reports seeing an alligator dragging a man through the waters of Bayou Tail, Officer Homer Verdin responds to the scene and leaps into action. When he disappears in the muddy waters, Clint Wolf and the rest of the Mechant Loup team begin a desperate search for their friend and fellow law enforcement officer.
During the search, they make a puzzling discovery that will lead Clint on the trail of dangerous killer.
Will Homer be okay, or will tragedy strike? And will Clint and the rest of the team be able to track down and bring this killer to justice?
Whatever the case, one thing is crystal they are all willing to die trying.
This one was disappointing. The plot was simple. The most amount of detail to the story was in finding the first victim. I think that took about 15% of the book.
I know BJ Bourg has decades of law enforcement experience, but it seems like he takes too much license with his stories. It seems like he gets some legal facts wrong to make the stories work the way he wants.
It doesn't seem like the first books in this series over explained things. However, the last few have been full of lengthy explanations about random things that don't add value to the story.
I also wasn't a fan of Clint not arresting a certain person.
Every BJ Bourg book in the Clint Wolf series is outstanding. It takes you on warp speed as Wolf and his team try to solve crimes. And being that the crimes are in Louisiana and the swamp lands it tends to make it a bit complicated. I love all the characters (of course that doesn't include the baddies) try to think what actors would be great at playing them. The stories are so, so good and you cannot pick a favorite. The stories have it all: action, suspense, thrills and chills and there's a little humor here and there which balances the stories just right. Thank you, BJ Bourg! Keep them coming!
It just keeps getting better and better, what a heart stopping, riveting case. My heart was in my mouth with each turn of the page, I can’t say too much because I don’t want to spoil it for others.
Look forward to each new installment of this series. Novels are well plotted and obviously written by a professional police person. Characters are well developed, and I enjoy renewing their acquaintance. Looking forward to their new adventures.
His story line catches and keeps you going through the story like winding curves around a mountainous terrain. It is never dull and keeps you focused so you can’t put it down. Thank you Mr Bourg for another gripping episode of Clint Wolfe and the Wolfe pack.
I always enjoy books written by Bourg. This was no exception with stories within stories. Nonetheless the endless speculation of who and what happened by Cliff and Ames gets to be a bit much.
