Paperback. Condition: Good. A half-Indian, half-French deputy with "a shrewd mind and wry sense of humor" investigates a case of homicide on the range (The New York Times Book Review).   Two men have been cutting fences at the ranches of Toussaint, Montana, loosing thousands of dollars' worth of cattle to use as target practice for their .22 rifles. Are they thieves? Pranksters? Local cattle inspector and sometime deputy Gabriel Du Pré guesses they're environmentalists, agitating for the reintroduction of native wolves to Montana's high plains. Du Pré knows the perpetrators are trying to send a message to the ranchers of eastern Montana--he also has a hunch they're already dead. When the activists are indeed found shot to death, Du Pré must figure out who used them for target practice. The FBI descends, but their agents are as clueless in this territory as the hapless victims were. Clearly, one of Toussaint's citizens committed this crime, killing to protect the traditional way of ranching life, a loyalty Du Pré shares. But if anyone's going to arrest his people, it will be the cattle inspector himself .&nbsp.    Wolf, No Wolf is the third in "a wonderfully eclectic and enjoyable series of interest to western crime readers, especially those favoring Montana authors C. J. Box, Craig Johnson, and Keith McCafferty as well as fans of the Hillermans" (Booklist). Wolf, No Wolf is the 3rd book in The Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In the latest installment of Peter Bowen's acclaimed mystery series, Gabriel Du Pr investigates a century-old crime Lieutenant John Patchen has come to Montana to persuade Chappie Plaquemines, his former gunnery sergeant in Iraq and the son of Gabriel Du Pr 's girlfriend, to accept the Navy Cross. First, however, Du Pr and Patchen must find the wounded marine, who was last seen drinking heavily in the Toussaint Saloon. They locate him soon enough, disheveled and stinking of stale booze, but a sobering visit to a medicine man's sweat lodge reveals a much greater mystery: the unsolved case of a band of M tis who were last seen fleeing from General Black Jack Pershing's troops in 1910 before disappearing. Strange voices within the sweat lodge speak of a place called Bitter Creek, where the M tis encountered their fate. To find it, Du Pr tracks down the only living survivor of the massacre, a feisty old woman whose memories may not be as trustworthy as they seem. But when Amalie leads Du Pr to Pardoe, an out-of-the-way crossroads north of Helena, he senses that they are about to uncover long-buried secrets. Discouraged by the US military, their lives threatened by locals whose ancestors may have played a role in the murders, Chappie, Patchen, and Du Pr bravely pursue the truth so that the victims of a terrible injustice might finally rest in peace. Peter Bowen's Bitter Creek is likely the top of the Du Pr series, of which I've read all fourteen. It is a lively and absolutely fascinating look into Western history. -Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall Peter Bowen writes mysteries that are truly mysterious-informed by Western legend, steeped in Indian superstition. . . . Riding with Du Pr is some kind of enchantment. -The New York Times Book Review Du Pr joins a select group including Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe, and Dave Robicheaux, characters that readers feel they've known all their lives. . . . Thought-provoking and always entertaining, this latest chapter in Bowen's ongoing Du Pr saga shows the author at the top of his form. -William Hjortsberg, author of Falling Angel and Ma ana Bowen plays his language the way Du Pr plays violin: plaintive, humorous, wild, the sounds of the sentences as meaningful as the story. -The Washington Post Book World Bitter Creek is Peter Bowen's unforgettable series hero Gabriel Du Pr at his fiddling, ditch-swilling, cruiser-tromping best. -David McCumber, author of The Cowboy Way and Playing Off the Rail Peter Bowen (b. 1945) is an author best known for mystery novels set in the modern American West. When he was ten, Bowen's family moved to Bozeman, Montana, where a paper route introduced him to the grizzled old cowboys who frequented a bar called The Oaks. Listening to their stories, some of which stretched back to the 1870s, Bowen found inspiration for his later fiction. Following time at the University of Michigan and the University of Montana, Bowen published his first novel, Yellowstone Kelly, in 1987. After two more novels featuring the real-life Western hero, Bowen published Coyote Wind (1994), which introduced Gabriel Du Pr , a mixed-race lawman living in fictional Toussaint, Montana. Bowen has written fourteen novels in the series, in which Du Pr gets tangled up in everything from cold-blooded murder to the hunt for rare fossils. Bowen continues to live and write in Livingston, Montana. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. A murder investigation leads Du Pre into the cutthroat world of illegal horse racing Gabriel Du Pre's aunt Pauline has burned through more than her share of husbands, so it's no surprise when she shows up in Toussaint complaining that the latest one, Badger, has run off. Du Pre, the fiddler and sometimes deputy, agrees to go looking for her man and finds him shot, execution-style, in the wilds of the Montana countryside. A chat with his contacts at the FBI reveals that Badger, a small-time drug smuggler, had been working for them since his last arrest. Pauline's husband was bait, but the big fish got away. The last lead was to a cabal of wealthy gamblers who pass their time racing horses in the barren Montana brush. To infiltrate their tight-knit syndicate, Du Pre goes undercover, lining up his own horse and jockey. He must tread lightly - horses are not the only things these men shoot. …
