No Place for Wolverines - (Jenny Willson Mystery) by Dave Butler (Paperback)

About the Book

When Jenny Willson initiates a covert inquiry into a proposed ski hill in Yoho National Park, she must decide if she's willing to risk her career -- and perhaps her life and the lives of those close to her -- to reveal what lurks in the darkness.

Book Synopsis

Park warden Jenny Willson is in a dangerous race for answers that could create an irreparable rift in her own organization.

When Park Warden Jenny Willson initiates a covert inquiry into a proposed ski hill in Yoho National Park, she's quickly drawn into a web of political, environmental, and criminal intrigue that threatens to tear apart a small B.C. town. Suddenly, neighbour is pitted against neighbour, friend against friend, and family against family.

After a wolverine researcher dies in a mysterious fire, Willson forms an uneasy alliance with an RCMP corporal and an investigative journalist to expose the truth behind the project. But all is not what it seems. In a showdown involving the ski hill proponent, her own agency, and mysterious political puppeteers, Willson must decide if she's willing to risk her career -- and perhaps the lives of herself and those close to her -- to reveal what lurks in the shadows.
