Shadow of the Wolf Tree: A Woods Cop Mystery

Review
“Joseph Heywood writes with a voice as unique and rugged as Michigan’s Upper Peninsula itself. And Shadow of the Wolf Tree is clearly his best yet!” —Steve Hamilton, Edgar® Award-winning author of The Lock Artist
“Top-notch action scenes, engaging characters both major and minor, masterful dialogue, and a passionate sense of place make this a fine series.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Heywood has crafted an entertaining bunch of characters. An absorbing narrative twists and turns in a setting ripe for corruption.”
—Dallas Morning News
In the seventh installment in the acclaimed Woods Cop Mystery series, another suspenseful crime noir finds Grady Service, a detective in the Upper Peninsula for Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources, back in action. The discovery of skeletal remains sheds troubling light on an eighty-year-old cold case involving racism, gold, and murder. Combine that with a present-day ecoterrorist whose guerrilla tactics—including a gruesome trap called a “wolf tree”—make Rambo look like a cub scout; a thriving crystal meth industry; and Service’s particular brand of grizzled, sexually tense, and action-packed police work.
Death lurks behind every tree, under every rock, and within every raging river in the most action-packed Woods Cop Mystery yet.
