Dire: 8 (David Wolf Mystery Thriller) by Jeff Carson

Jeff Carson . Unknown Year . English

When a man careens off the road into the frigid waters of the Chautauqua River, Chief Detective David Wolf risks his own life to bring the man to shore. News of Wolf’s bravery travels fast through the burgeoning ski town of Rocky Points, Colorado, and before long he’s pulled into the political grinder, where candidates are eager to exploit Wolf’s character for their own gain. Injured as well in the process, it seems his heroic deed was some cruel twist of fate, that is, until he meets Lauren Coulter, a nurse at the hospital and a new girl in town. Lauren is smart, beautiful, and just Wolf’s type. The connection is there. But just as they get started, so does the killing, and so do the secrets start emerging from Lauren’s troubled past. Has fate steered Wolf to the wrong woman? Or is someone more devious behind the wheel? Lives will depend on how fast Wolf can come up with the answer, and living with failure will prove to be something much worse than death.

About the Author

Jeff Carson is the International-Bestselling author of the David Wolf and Ali Falco Series. Set in the high country of Colorado, mountain west, and Europe, his books are chock-full of action, mystery, thrills, suspense, and twists you'll never see coming. Add a bit of humor and romance, a colorful cast of characters, all set in ruggedly beautiful territory, and it's clear why the novels have gained acclaim among readers. The first novel in the David Wolf series, Foreign Deceit, is an international mystery-thriller he wrote while living in Italy for a year with his wife and son. The next 17 books in the still ongoing David Wolf series are set in the mountain-western United States. The Ali Falco series stars a detective in the Siena region of Tuscany, Italy. Jeff acquired a love for adventure-thriller-mystery-suspense fiction at a young age by listening to audio books while driving the vast landscapes of the western U.S. with his family. One leg of a trip from Denver to Payette, Idaho (to visit relatives) was enough time to squeeze in a good Cussler, a Christie, a Child, a Silva, a Box, a Flynn, a Cornwell, a Baldacci, or one of the others he considers master story-tellers. Now he incorporates many the same elements of those authors in his own writing. Jeff and his wife currently live with their two sons in Colorado.
