Wolf, No Wolf (Montana Mysteries)

Gabriel Du Pre (introduced in Bowen's two earlier books, Coyote Wind and Specimen Song) is fiddling for a crowd of dancers in the Toussaint Bar when strange news arrives: someone has cut the fences of several Montana ranchers and shot their cattle. Environmental protesters are suspected. But when the protesters are shot and burned in their cars, Du Pre must look for answers -- hindered by the FBI and by a winter storm that buries evidence and nearly buries him as well. Mingling Indian lore, humor, and a feel for the West, Wolf, No Wolf is a potential crime classic.
