The Wolfer - by Loren D Estleman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

He went to hunt a killer wolf-and found himself hunted.

Asa North was a wolfer, the best there was-fearless, cunning, and as relentless as the predators he stalked. When a bounty is placed on Black Jack, a massive black wolf terrorizing the Idaho Territory, Asa takes the job. The animal has left a trail of slaughtered cattle and broken ranchers in its wake, and Asa vows to end it.

But in the remote Caribou Mountains, Asa isn't the only one tracking prey. Others are out there-desperate men with blood in their eyes. And they're not just after the wolf.

They're after Asa.

"Estleman writes about master craftsmen, whatever his theme, and then shapes sentences like prose poems to the craft at hand, his details sharp as metal shavings, in a voice all his own." -Kirkus Reviews
