BUT NOT FORTUITOUS

When Mechant Loup detective Clint Wolf stops a vehicle for reckless driving, he doesn’t find a drunk driver or an irresponsible teenager inside. Instead, he discovers a distraught father in a desperate search for his missing sons. Upon learning the boys were overdue from a fishing trip in the swamps, Clint summons the assistance of trusted friend and skilled mantracker, Melvin Saltzman.

During their search, Clint and Melvin locate one of the boys huddling near a pirogue in a private lake, but the other brother is nowhere to be found. Melvin begins tracking the teenager through the woods and soon locates a bloody shovel under a windthrown tree. Further on, he locates what appears to be a freshly dug grave--and things begin to go south from there.

What they find when they unearth the grave sets Clint on a 1,800-mile journey to solve a murder case that wasn’t meant to be solved. Whether or not he succeeds--or survives--will depend on a number of things, not the least of which might be a fortuitous event.

BUT NOT FOR FEAR

Something evil is lurking beneath the waters of Mechant Loup, and it’s up to Clint Wolf to figure out what it is.

In broad daylight on a calm, sunny day in August, a young college student suddenly disappears in Le Diable Lake and never resurfaces. Despite a desperate search by her boyfriend, she is not found.

While en route to the scene of the disappearance, Clint Wolf and Officer Melvin Saltzman make a grim discovery that is seemingly unrelated to the initial report. However, as the community comes together to search for the missing girl, it becomes increasingly evident that something evil is operating beneath the dark waters--and no one is safe from its clutches.

BUT NOT FORESEEN

The only thing Detective Clint Wolf wants to do is spend a quiet Sunday with his wife and daughter. Unfortunately for him, fate has other plans.

When a weekend getaway for a father and daughter turn deadly, Clint is forced to cancel his own family plans and launch an investigation into the brutal murder. Although more than sixty rifle rounds were fired in the senseless killing, there were no witnesses and no video surveillance, because the act occurred in the primitive camping area of the Waxtuygi Wildlife Nature Park. With little evidence and no suspects, Clint finds himself flying in fog with zero visibility.

As the investigation unfolds and the body count begins to rise, the question of motive continues to elude Clint. However, one thing becomes crystal the closer he gets to an answer, the more his life expectancy decreases.

Exciting

Three more inventive, exciting crime sprees, with Clint solving them. With Susan at his side, he walks through the crime scenes, finding clues and working them to the end. A master class in how to work a case.

BUT NOT FORTUITOUS
Two brothers the love of going out at night and fishing returning at midnight, awaking their dad sleeping they were home. Morning came realizing he wasn’t woken and where are his boys . He almost lost them before and now this, he can’t lose them. They know the boys this drives his friends and Clint to find them. A tracker to help notice things in the woods and area around where the boys were going to fish at. The discovery was more than they wanted. In torrential downpouring rain didn’t help, or the frantic calls from a father ridden with guilt and worry. The place in this woods had been isolation for a number of years. How the pieces finally come is a touch of luck by these dedicate officers and Wolfe. A few hints with sex so hope there is no more mentioned in next ones.
BUT NOT FOR FEAR
Wild drinking parties at the beach, unaware of what was happening in the bayou. Until murder happened and victims were untouched. People afraid that there is a monster in the water. Business has dropped off and this small town needs it. Without clues or suspects of what to do. A fast plot that willl baffled you to the end of what was being done.
BUT NOT FORESEEN
A camping trip a daughter wanted, an time with her Dad, The precious moments of a Dad putting logs around her tent to feel safe from alligators. A camping site that is badly need of repairs.
Susan knew of a place and hadn’t been in a few years suggested the three of them go walking. In a moment it change to getting their child to safety.
The tender moments of a sheriff, having her nursing degree, so would be safe to raise her young daughter The love of the officers to see her leave.
The story of a ruthless killer who over kill’s, leaving Clint without clues.
They bond together to serve and protect one another. When a volunteer was needed it was a slim chance to caught the killers it is Clint that volunteers. He feels it is his place, and he will be a winner which ever way the outcome is. Great plot, great characters

Top entertaining drama

A whole series of enthralling and highly engrossing stories in the beginning of another Clint Wolf series. Throughout, as an avid reader, of murder mysteries, I was totally enhanced and involved in this continuing series of stories. I am looking forward to being able to read more in the Clint Wolf series of stories. There is no doubt that all readers of good murder/mystery stories will thoroughly enjoy and be drawn in by these stories. Highly recommended reading.

All three

To each there own 5 star but for the three book set also a five star. Each of the three books had different setting and their own unique suspense but all were equally entertaining.

Except for the deranged brother, the criminals demonstrated an insurmountable amount of patience in book 16.

Book 17 had a very inventive plot.

Book 18 brought out truly evil criminals within our world.

I hope you enjoy reading these suspenseful mysteries. Clint Wolf is an amazing police officer.

#18 Book was a winner

This was a hard hitting book with death on both sides. This story rings true and it has happened in real life. The bad guys were known before the surprise ending, but the hunt was on. This was one of my favorite books by B J Bourg. But on to book #19 and my search continues for another exciting Clint Wolf case.

loves the series

I can’t believe I’ve finished the entire series! I feel like I know Clint, Susan, and all the rest. It’s been the most immersive read of my life. I hope you’re planning on continuing the story. I want to watch Grace grow up! (It would also make a great tv series!😉)

Yet another awesome Clint Wolf book

The scene involving the outhouse was critically the most amazing scenario I have ever read! If you have never read one of BJ Bourg, Clint Wolf's Mystery novels, you're missing the most exciting and action packed books with a backdrop in the swamps of Louisiana.

Exciting

What an exciting read. I read all three books in record time. The Clint character is well developed and very believable, as are the others. There isn't a moment that drags or a paragraph that seems unnecessary. Loved it.
