Solus

A Montana Mystery Featuring Gabriel Du Pré

By: Peter Bowen

Narrated by: Jim Meskimen

Gabriel Du Pré is back in action, coming to the aid of a whistleblower on the run, in this all-new novel in a “wonderfully eclectic and enjoyable series” (Booklist).

When a hunted military whistleblower and his family need someplace to hide and someone to trust, Toussaint, Montana, is the place, and Gabriel Du Pré the man. The Métis Indian former cattle inspector and sometimes deputy is happy to offer protection, even though he’s already got his hands full with an ailing granddaughter, a meddling medicine man, and a Kazakh eagle hunter prowling the hills above town.

As a guard at a Kabul prison, Hoyt Poe witnessed his fellow soldiers abusing the Afghan inmates. Poe’s testimony threatens to expose the military contractor that led the prison’s brutal interrogation program. Now, Temple Security’s billionaire founder, Lloyd Cutler, wants him dead. But how long can the fugitive and his family lay low before Cutler’s mercenaries come to Du Pré’s hometown looking for trouble?

Packed with pulse-pounding suspense, wry humor, and the romance of small-town Montana, Solus continues the irresistible adventures of the one of a kind Gabriel Du Pré, “a character of legendary proportions” (New York Times bestselling author Ridley Pearson).

Solus is the 15th book in the Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Critic reviews

“Peter Bowen writes mysteries that are truly mysterious—informed by Western legend, steeped in Indian superstition.”

(New York Times Book Review, praise for the series)

“Beneath Bowen’s delightfully extravagant characters lurks a warning: the inevitable clashes between outsiders and natives are sometimes funny, sometimes violent, but ultimately tragic.”

(Publishers Weekly, praise for the series)

Great story

Great story but it took some time for the reader to warm up. I almost quit listening because of it.

A great finished with fantastic series

Generation was excellent, the way he moves between voices and levels is seamless.
I miss these books and this incredible series makes me want to move back to Montana.

The last one 😪

When Peter Bowen passed, we also lost all the people we had come to love in a small town we all hoped to see. This was his last, and I feel lost. Here Palace is leaving, but no mention of Ripper at all! I feel like I will see that little town and all the people in my mind for a long time. A will wonder what there up to. Was a really well written book, and what a great story line. Really close to home. So sit down with a large Ditch, and enjoy! 💔💖

hope that there will be more from this author.

really liked this last book. please write more for this series. sad and happy.
forget some of the obscenities really don't need them in order to make a book good

I love these books

The plot is solid, the characters are believable and the story line reflected reality in 2018 which was a horrible time for America. I found myself crying more than once. The commentary on the military, and on the Americans who are the bedrock of the military was spot on. And having some characters, who were Texans, made me smile since I am a Texan, and I am a veteran. These books make me want to go to Montana, see what it's really like, but I would be an outsider and I would not belong. These books make me feel like I do belong in these stories, with these people and they are my friends. Opening the book is like opening a door, being welcomed in to sit at their table, and listen to their story.
