Wolf Lake

The fifth thriller in this bestselling series offers a “complex, engrossing mystery” that “will challenge what you believe . . . about the banality of evil” (Tod Goldberg, author of Gangsterland). Retired homicide detective Dave Gurney visits a spooky Adirondack inn to investigate 4 terrifying but seemingly unrelated deaths . . . Could a nightmare be used as a murder weapon? That’s the provocative question confronting retired homicide detective Dave Gurney. Four people scattered across the country, and with little in common, report having the same dream—a terrifying nightmare involving a bloody dagger with a carved wolf’s head on the handle. All four are subsequently found with their wrists cut—apparent suicides—by none other than the weapon they dreamt of. Troubled by odd holes in the police’s official approach to the case, Gurney begins his own investigation—an action that puts him and his beloved wife, Madeline, in the crosshairs of an icy murderer, the local police, and the darkest corner of the federal government. As a ruthless blizzard traps him in a spooky Adirondack inn called Wolf Lake Lodge, Gurney must throw himself into a deadly battle of wits with the most frightening opponent he has ever faced. Wolf Lake is another page–turning thriller by a writer hailed by the New York Times as “masterly”—and reunites readers with Dave Gurney, a detective cut from the same cloth as Sherlock Holmes.
