A wonderful Montana mystery starring fly fisherman-cum-detective Sean Stranahan, for fans of C. J. Box and Craig Johnson Wolves howl as a riderless horse returns at sunset to the Culpepper Dude Ranch in the Madison Valley. The missing woman, Nanika Martinelli, is better known as the Fly Fishing Venus, a red-haired river guide who lures clients the way dry flies draw trout. As Sheriff Martha Ettinger follows hoof tracks in the snow, she finds one of the men who has fallen under the temptress' s spell impaled on the antler tine of a giant bull elk, a kill that' s been claimed by a wolf pack. An accident? If not, is the killer human or animal? With painter, fly fisherman, and sometimes private detective Sean Stranahan' s help, Ettinger will follow clues that point to an animal rights group called the Clan of the Three-Clawed Wolf and to their svengali master, whose eyes blaze with pagan fire.

      Starred review from October 21, 2013
      The politics of wolves drives McCafferty’s beautifully written third mystery featuring Montana fly fisherman and sometime PI Sean Stranahan (after 2013’s The Gray Ghosts Murders). Are wolves marauders the ranchers can exterminate? Are they part of the natural landscape, entitled to their share of the countryside? Or perhaps they are mystical creatures worthy of worship. Sean gets entangled in the wolf issue when Sheriff Martha Ettinger deputizes him to help look into the death of ranch hand Grady Cole, who somehow “got himself impaled on the antlers of an elk.” An attractive river guide and wolf activist known as the Fly Fishing Venus is also missing, and the hunt for her—dead or alive—gradually consumes law enforcement. The complex, multilayered story smoothly switches from one character to another. Even readers who think fish comes in a cone with french fries will feel like casting a line in a Montana river.
