The Bangtail Ghost

De: Keith McCafferty

Narrado por: Rick Holmes

In Montana's Gravelly Range, paw prints and a single whisker discovered at a scene of horrific violence suggest a woman has been attacked and carried away by a mountain lion. Sheriff Martha Ettinger employs her fiancé, sometimes-detective Sean Stranahan, to put a name to the gnawed bones comprising all that is left of the body. The woman's is the first of several deaths that Sean suspects are not as easily explained as they appear.

As a reign of terror grips the Madison Valley, blood in the tracks will lead him from the river below to the snow-covered ridge tops, as Sean finds himself on his most adventurous and dangerous quest yet. For as he comes closer to unearthing the secret shared by the dead and missing, the tracks he is following will turn, and the hunter becomes the hunted.

Awesome, as usual.

Every Sean Stranahan book I read from Keith McCafferty deepens and grows and delights from the human characters to the magnificent animals to the stirring descriptions of the Montana settings. Add murder and bad guys to the above mix and I sit back and soak it all in while I am wincing at Sean and his tireless refusal to listen even to his own reason when confronting murder. Great story and Rick Holmes as narrator honors the words.

Good Story

Great characters with witty sarcasm. The story was not what I thought it was but still enjoyed it. I like crime mysteries as well. It didn't have the twist that one would see coming, nor did it end at the expected time.

Fantastic - Best so far!

I have read the reviews, the 1 and 2 star reviews, and feel we are not reading the same book. There is fishing in this book, not as much as others but yet there. Keith's descriptive writing enables you to actually 'see' the scene, his descriptions are so unique I want to be in his brain to know how it works. I hope there is another one very soon. The great outdoor, western, adventures are so few and far between you must savor each one: Sean Stranahan, Joe Pickett, Walt Longmire. As always Rick Holmes narration is perfect.

Similar yet unique story

I have found all his books very enjoyable and interesting. A mystery yes, but far more. Lessons from the Natural world, and the human conflict that inevitably arises.

Good Read

loved the story. Characters were really interesting and different. Montana , the great outdoors and learning about mountain lions was exactly what I love.
