Articoli correlati a Winter of the Wolf Moon
Alex Mcknight has a souvenir of his days as a cop - a bullet lodged too near his heart to be removed. He also has a guilty conscience about the death of his partner in that same shooting, and now he is left alone in his spartan log cabin, taking his meals at the nearby roadhouse, finding company there when he wants it - and not when he doesn't.
But it doesn't work that way. When a young Native American woman comes to him asking for help, McKnight feels bound to protect her. He ensconces her in an unoccupied cabin that he owns - and finds her gone the following morning.
McKnight is convinced that the woman's ex-lover, a particularly vicious member of the reservation hockey team, who McKnight outfaced in a recent game, has kidnapped her. Fearing for her life, he begins a frantic search, swatting away his self-appointed "partner" - the town's favorite fool - until the man surprises him. It's a search that leads to encounters with a variety of unsavory types, each with his own agenda, and to some extremely unpleasant discoveries by McKnight himself as he forcibly learns that criminal sadism knows no geographic boundaries and that the motives of both good and evil people can lead to disaster.

Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "It's winter in Paradise, Michigan on the frozen borders of Canada. After plowing the new snow from his drive every morning, Alex McKnight -- ex-baseball player, ex-Detroit police officer and ex-private investigator -- is content to stay warm in front of the fire at the Glasgow Inn with a bottle of his favorite Canadian beer. So when a young native American woman of the Ojibway tribe comes to him for help, Alex is reluctant to become involved. Nor does he want anything to do with goofy Leon Prudell who wants to get back in the PI business and has fixed on Alex as his partner. But before you can say 'storm warning,' events have spun out of Alex's control, leaving him to deal with a drug-crazed hockey team, two mysterious men with guns and hunting caps, and a cold-blooded killer from the other side of the world. Perhaps Alex needs that new partner after all.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo. (ix), 274pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Codice articolo 011440
