I loved the narration of Larry Gorman Gabriel Hawke is a State Trooper for Fish and Wildlife in Eastern Oregon. While his rounds he comes across a friend of his kneeling beside the body of a man with a wolf tracking collar. He is determined to find out who did this. He wants the satisfaction of the prosecution. This book moves at a great pace. With red herrings add more suspense and suspects.

murder, murder-investigation, horses, dogs, law-enforcement***** Once a State Trooper, Gabriel Hawke works as a Trooper for Fish and Wildlife in Eastern Oregon (OSFW). While out on his regular rounds he comes across a friend of his kneeling beside the body of a man with a wolf tracking collar on his neck as the obvious cause of death. What follows is some incredible due diligence to not only determine which of the primary suspects actually did the deed, but make certain that the evidence back it all up to the satisfaction of the prosecution. Great read! I have read later books in this series and wanted to go back to the beginning. I'm especially glad that I did because I finally figured out why narrator Larry Gorman's interpretation seemed so familiar. It's that of a particular Booking Room sergeant I worked with who had a very imposing appearance but sounded so mild mannered.

Fish and Wildlife State Trooper Gabriel Hawke believes he’s chasing poachers. However, he comes upon a wildlife biologist standing over a body that is wearing a wolf tracking collar. Is the biologist responsible for the death or is someone else involved? Can Hawke find out what really happened? I enjoyed this book. This is a well-written story. The characters both human and animal are likable and intelligent which enhances the story. The pace of the mystery moves is a great pace allowing for well-placed red herrings to add more suspense and suspects to the storyline. The Native American aspect of the story is interesting making the book more original than other books in this genre I’ve read. I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator Larry Gorman was a great addition to an already great book. He did a wonderful job bringing the characters and story to life.
