Wolf Cowrie is back in his second adventure! In the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory in 1865, tensions run high between white settlers looking for gold and the Sioux people who consider this region their holy ground. When Wolf is hired to find out what happened to the workers of a mining outpost in the area, the general theory in Goldwater is that they were slaughtered by the Sioux. Wolf discovers something far more sinister lurking in the Black Hills, an ancient evil whose unending hunger drives sane men to ghoulish extremes.

It was a young woman of perhaps nineteen years of age, with
auburn hair and brown eyes. She was well-dressed in a white blouse with
leg-of-mutton sleeves and a narrow column of ruffles down the front. A dark
blue skirt respectably covered her ankles and black boots, and her hair was
pulled back in a style he could not readily see from this angle, with wisps
curling delicately around her face. She was a pretty little thing as well, and
Wolf wished he could have made her acquaintance under better
circumstances—like, say, fully-clothed, rather than stark naked with only his
hat to conceal his shame.
The two of them stared at each other for maybe half a
minute—him in a state of poker-faced, heart-pounding embarrassment, her in
open-mouthed shock. Wolf’s heart and his stomach had lurched in opposite
directions when he saw her—his heart upwards to lodge in his throat, his
stomach downwards to gurgle in low panic somewhere around his knees. He
swallowed hard to try to clear the lump of nerves behind his larynx. Somehow,
Wolf was the first to find his voice.
“Ordinarily, miss, I’d be the first to tip my hat to a
lovely young lady like yourself,” he said as politely as he could manage, with
a glance down at the hat in question. “But I don’t think either of us wants
that right now.”
She blushed bright scarlet and whirled out of the bathroom
without a word, revealing the bun that secured her hair and slamming the door
behind her. Wolf put his free hand over his face.

ReplyDeleteI just love that name Wolf. I had a boy in high school, with me, and that was his name. He is now a bail bondsman.
ReplyDelete"... She is ... an associate member of the Horror Writers of America." Yikes! I didn't even know there WAS such a club! Makes sense, though....
