Winslow: The Lost Hunters (Winslow Doyle Mysteries Book 1)

Description

Mystery? Thriller? Pure suspense? These don’t individually capture the essence of this novel, nor the depth of the main character, Winslow Doyle. Perhaps this tale is all three. There is something about Winslow’s voice and mind that readers find unusually appealing. He’s calm, intelligent, knowledgeable of the wilderness where he lives. He’s introspective, philosophical, and reminds readers of the tenderness and toughness of Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe without Marlowe’s cynicism.

Still heavily burdened by grief over the loss of his beloved wife, a woman and her 9-year-old boy ask Winslow for help. Her husband and his 15-year-old daughter failed to return after her hunt for her first deer. Given how many hours have passed, Winslow’s instincts tell him the prospects for this loving family can only be grim . . .
