After a gunman interrupts the dedication of a wetland she's helped save, biologist Alex Carter jumps at the chance to leave Boston for a remote assignment tracking wolverines on a newly established wildlife preserve in northwestern Montana. But when she arrives, she finds that the locals aren't too excited about her presence and that there may be something illegal happening in the wilds of the preserve.
This is a debut thriller by a wildlife biologist and as such, the animal facts are what really shine here. In between plot twists and action sequences (some of which I had trouble believing), I learned a TON about wolverines — did you know that the dads come back after a couple of years to help train the kits on survival and hunting skills? — which made the book worth the read. Had it not been for those, and my love of animal facts, I probably would've given up on this one.
