Reviews
Praise for Wolf Kill: "Honestly, I've never read a book that evokes the fierce winter landscape of the North Country better than Wolf Kill ." -- William Kent Krueger , Edgar Award-winning author of This Tender Land "Griffith's prose makes you feel the winter chill... and the twisty plot delivers a chill down your spine." -- Brian Freeman , New York Times best-selling author of The Deep, Deep Snow "Up here in the North Country, we have a bounty of fine mystery writers. Krueger, Housewright, Eskins, Freeman, Mejia, Sanford... add to that list Cary Griffith." -- Peter Geye , author of Northernmost " Wolf Kill is a terrific read! The writing is so good that you can feel the frigid winds blowing through this dark and masterfully crafted novel even as the suspense heats up." -- David Housewright , Edgar Award-winning author of What Doesn't Kill Us "Cary J. Griffith defines the savage, howling beauty of a Northern Minnesota winter in this taut, compulsively readable mystery. I want more Sam Rivers!" -- Wendy Webb , author of The Haunting of Brynn Wilder "Fans of Paul Doiron's The Poacher's Son or the Joe Pickett books will appreciate this descriptive novel with an intriguing plot and well-written characters." -- Lesa Holstine , Library Journal "Cary J. Griffith's Wolf Kill is a surprisingly fast-paced, highly intriguing outdoor action thriller with some mystery and romance thrown in for good measure." -- Joseph B. Hoyos , Gumshoe "In Wolf Kill , natural history writer Cary J. Griffith introduces readers to Sam Rivers, a predator's predator, and weaves a masterful tale of danger and suspense in the far north." -- Thoughts on This'n That Praise for Cougar Claw: "Between Griffith's descriptions of Minnesota's natural beauty and the human nature of his characters, this is a book you won't want to end." -- Debra H. Goldstein , award-winning author of the Sarah Blair mystery series "Mixing deep knowledge of the natural world with the twists and turns of the best suspense novels, Cougar Claw is a thoughtful and thrilling story." -- Mary Logue , author of the Claire Watkins mysteries and The Streel "Griffith doubles down on his strengths in this series, giving us another vibrant cast of allies, suspects, and a misunderstood predator, while navigating a path between animal rights and human fears of the natural world. I can't wait for Sam Rivers' next assignment." -- Mindy Mejia , author of Everything You Want Me to Be and Strike Me Down "Griffith's popular creation, Sam Rivers, is a striking star, handsome, playful and deeply knowledgeable in his field. Turns out he's not so bad at unraveling the darker side of human nature, too." -- Ginny Greene , Star Tribune "Sam Rivers is a welcome addition to the growing list of crime fiction protagonists by Minnesota writers. His love of nature and creatures, even predators, permeates the plot." -- Mary Ann Grossman , Pioneer Press, "Griffith's third Sam Rivers mystery, Killing Monarchs, moves with the speed of a bullet train. A gripping tale of greed and vengeance... not to be missed." -- Jeffrey B. Burton , award-winning author of The Finders, The Keepers, and The Lost " Killing Monarchs is an exciting, thrilling, and suspenseful page-turner! [It] hooked me from the first page, and I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this series!" -- Kathleen Donnelly , author of the award-winning National Forest K-9 series "Cary Griffith is that rare crime writer who's not afraid to be funny and wise even as he keeps us on the edge of our seats. What's more, he's a gifted chronicler of the natural world. These qualities are all abounding in Killing Monarchs, Griffith's best yet. It's time to put his intrepid investigator, Sam Rivers, on every suspense writer's radar, and the author himself in the same echelon as the finest crime writers working today." -- Peter Geye , author of The Ski Jumpers "Cary Griffith has laid out another fabulous tale, based on solid knowledge of the natural world, with a provocative sense of the deviousness of humankind." -- Mary Logue , author of The Streel and The Big Sugar "A gripping thriller highlighting the ironclad bond between man and his best friend, Killing Monarchs had me turning pages all night long." -- Brian Malloy , author of The Year of Ice and After Francesco "A chilling thriller you won't want to put down. Sam Rivers and his wolfdog partner, Gray, make a terrific crime-fighting duo!" -- Margaret Mizushima , author of the award-winning Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries "Sam Rivers is one part teacher and two parts crime solver. Killing Monarchs floats like a butterfly and stings like a scorpion. Prepare to be schooled." -- Mark Stevens , author of The Fireballer and The Allison Coil Mystery Series " Killing Monarchs, the third Sam Rivers mystery, is a rollicking and hugely satisfying ride." -- C. Matthew Smith , author of Twentymile

Synopsis
Two dead bodies and too many coincidences to ignore--in this outdoors mystery, special agent Sam Rivers must stop a murderous conspiracy. As a special agent for the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Sam Rivers has researched and studied a variety of animals. He's visiting sixth graders at Hopkins Elementary to share photographs of the Monarch butterfly--and he's brought along his drug-sniffing wolfdog, Gray, to give students a demonstration of his partner's remarkable skills. Gray finds a sample drug packet, hidden by Sam, but that's not all. The wolfdog keeps following his nose, leading Sam to a utility room where they discover the school's janitor, dead. Local police write it off as a drug overdose, but Sam is no stranger to crime scenes. He suspects foul play. When Sam and Gray come upon a second victim, the coincidences are too great to ignore. Sam starts turning over rocks--and what slithers out is more insidious than anyone could have foretold. Sam's instincts tell him there'll be more deaths, but those instincts put him at odds with conventional law enforcement. Armed with his knowledge of the natural world and his wolfdog companion, Sam must uncover answers to questions that few others believe exist. The Denver Post calls Sam Rivers the "predator's predator." In Killing Monarchs , natural history writer Cary J. Griffith brings back Sam for his third mystery--a thrilling novel filled with action and suspense., Two dead bodies and too many coincidences to ignore-in this outdoors mystery, special agent Sam Rivers must stop a murderous conspiracy.

    The proof arrived well wrapped and mailed in a box. The seller listed the proof in good condition. I think most sellers would list it as like new to new. The proof appears to have never been opened. I consider this seller as one of the best on eBay. Thanks again for an outstanding purchase.
