Sinopsis

R. Austin Freeman's "The Shadow of the Wolf" delves expertly into the realms of early 20th-century detective fiction, employing his signature style of inverted detective tale. This narrative intricately weaves together themes of moral ambiguity and human psychology, as the story unfolds through the eyes of a cunning adversary rather than a conventional detective. Freeman's rich prose and precise characterization serve to elevate suspense while providing a critical commentary on the nature of justice, making it a noteworthy addition to the genre marked by its innovative approach and complex plotting. Freeman, a pioneer of the detective genre, draws heavily upon his substantial medical and scientific background, which contributed to his intricate understanding of forensics and human behavior. Born in 1862 and originally trained in the medical field, Freeman's blend of empirical observation and literary craftsmanship makes "The Shadow of the Wolf" a fascinating exploration of the darker facets of human nature and societal norms. His unique perspective, influenced by the prevailing Victorian notions of morality, led him to challenge conventional narratives and explore deeper psychological truths. I recommend "The Shadow of the Wolf" not only for fans of detective fiction but also for those intrigued by complex character dynamics and ethical quandaries. Freeman's ability to intertwine thrilling plots with profound philosophical questions ensures that this work remains relevant and engaging, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of crime and morality long after the last page is turned.

    In the remote, snowbound wilderness of Oregon’s Eagle Cap Mountains, a sled dog race turns deadly. 
    State Trooper Gabriel Hawke is teaching winter survival to Search and Rescue recruits when he's called in to find a missing musher. Arriving at the race camp, he discovers the musher isn’t just a name on a list—she’s someone his friend Justine cares about deeply. 
    As Hawke searches rugged trails and icy backcountry, the case quickly shifts from a rescue to a murder investigation. Then a second body turns up, and it’s clear the killer is hiding among the racers, handlers, or volunteers. The deeper Hawke digs, the more he uncovers buried secrets and dangerous rivalries. 
    Now, with a killer on the loose and Justine possibly in the crosshairs, Hawke must navigate blizzards, betrayal, and bloodshed—before the race ends in even more tragedy.

    With her aunt taking a well-earned break, Abby is juggling two businesses at once—managing Primrose House B&B while growing her new catering company. But when she arrives to deliver lunch to one of her regular clients, she stumbles upon something far worse than an empty stomach. 
     
     
     
    The victim's home has been ransacked, and a valuable artifact stolen. As Abby gets pulled into the investigation, it becomes clear that this isn't just a simple break-in gone wrong—someone in Sugar Creek is willing to kill to keep their secrets safe. But was the murder tied to the stolen treasure . . . or something far more personal? 
     
     
     
    Running a small business is complicated enough—but dating the town's sheriff makes things even trickier. Abby and Ryan are finally together, but that doesn't mean they see eye to eye—especially when her sleuthing starts making headlines. Between managing the B&B, untangling a mystery, and keeping her business afloat, Abby has enough on her plate without also being Sugar Creek's favorite topic of gossip. 
     
     
     
    With friendships tested, old grudges resurfacing, and danger creeping closer, Abby must uncover the truth before she becomes the next piece of Sugar Creek's history to disappear.
