The Saint of Wolves and Butchers

De: Alex Grecian

Narrado por: January LaVoy

From the bestselling author of The Yard and Red Rabbit comes a chilling contemporary thriller about an enigmatic hunter on the trail of a Nazi who has secretly continued his devilish work here in America.

Travis Roan and his dog, Bear, are hunters: They travel the world pursuing evildoers in order to bring them to justice. They have now come to Kansas on the trail of Rudolph Bormann, a Nazi doctor and concentration camp administrator who snuck into the U.S. under the name Rudy Goodman in the 1950s and has at last been identified. Travis quickly learns that Goodman has powerful friends who will go to any length to protect the Nazi; what he doesn't know is that Goodman has furtively continued his diabolical work, amassing a congregation of followers who believe he possesses Godlike powers. Caught between these men is Kansas State Trooper Skottie Foster, an African American woman and a good cop who must find a way to keep peace in her district--until she realizes the struggle between Roan and Bormann will put her and her family in grave peril.

The Saint Of Wolves and Butchers

Very interesting book. Well written and narrated. I would recommend it to anyone. It is sad what some people get away with.

Really interesting.

Picked too book up on a sale and didn’t know much about it. Turned out really good. If you have spent any time in central Kansas it will be particularly fun.

Travis and Bear

This book has a bit of everything, Nazi doctor fugitive, Nazi hunters, an amazing dog named Bear, a state Trooper who just wants to do right by her district. All of the characters are well fleshed out and nuanced. The premise gets a bit outlandish but the overall feel and flavor of the book reads nuance. Highly recommend! Hope to see Travis Roan & Skottie Foster meeting up again.

Good but...

Spoilers:

I was captive by this story. With only 3 hours left, the action was getting to a high point when, I want to kill Scottie’s daughter, Maddie. It is riveting but Maddie’s actions became stupid. I stopped. listening. Frist, Maddie hears the intruders. After telling her mother, she wants to do something other than what her mother told her. Why not call 911? She goes about trying to be amateur detective.

Second, Scottie is furious and worried because her daughter is missing. I got that. Knowing that time is of the essence for missing children and your need to interrogating the burglar, call 911 FIRST.

Third, Maddie appears at a hotel desk in the winter without shoes and a coat. The clerk has no sense of urgency to help her. Her father is there, and he says to her “it is too late to call his room”

Fourth, Damn that Maddie. She is safe in the hotel lobby with the stupid clerk. She panics when she sees her assailant outside of the hotel. Her dad is on his way down. She takes off. She caused problems for Bear and I was ready to kill her.

Fourth, Scottie’s neighbors hear commotion and never call the police. They come out at the end of the event with the line, “was that noise that we hear?”

Fifth in that damn little town, when 911 is finally called, the callers are put on hold.
With the warning that Scottie had and the help of Bear, this could have ended with ours heros in a better position.

I gave the story a 4 because it was a riveting story. I was too disappointed with in the first conflict to continue.

Holy sh**. Great story, great performance.

Bear is MVP. Ataku for the win. I love the character development and frequent action.
