About this audiobook

Corrupt officials.

Illegal hunters.

Death to those who dare complain.

Fish and Wildlife State Trooper Gabriel Hawke encounters a hunter with an illegal tag. The name on the tag belongs to the Wallowa County District Attorney and the man holding the tag isn’t the public defender.

As Hawke digs to find out if the DA is corrupt, the hunter’s body is found. Zeroing in on the DA, Hawke finds he has more suspects than the DA and more deaths than the hunter.

Ratings and reviews

Great narration from Larry Gorman State Trooper Hawke is on a routine check, when he comes across a hunter with an illegal tag. Which starts a murder investigation. There is hardly any clues, lots of suspects, and plenty of twists. Throw in past wrongdoings, politics, and a couple of lady friends who form the Hawke fan club, making this a great murder mystery.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. The main character Hawke is an interesting protagonist. He tries to keep people at a distance and not form close relationships. Despite his attempts to lead a solitary life, he has people to want to be in his life. Two of those people are Dani and Justine. When these two ladies meet, you can tell Hawke is uncomfortable. As a reader, you can't help but see the humor in the situation. The mystery is full of suspense, suspects, misdirection, and well-developed. I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator does a fantastic job of bringing the characters and the story to life. He is great at giving each character his/her own voice. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way, I have been influenced by anyone.
