Shadow of the Wolf by Tim Hall - review
That is until Leonard Kansewah, kidnaps Sharon Nakai who is a local news reporter. More importantly her husband Arthur is a retired Marine and was part of a special ops team shadow wolves. They were recruited by the Government to track drug smugglers, human traffickers, they worked with Home land security and were an all Native American Indian unit because of their tracking abilities.
Now seeing that the FBI has gotten nothing in the first few hours he decides to look into things himself.

When I saw a brand new author with a story about Native Americans I jumped right in!
I was not disappointed. Full of great characters, this author brought this story to life. Authur Nakai and his wife, Sharon, have a few issues, but their devotion is never in question. When he is informed that Sharon has been kidnapped by a known serial killer, all efforts by the police chief and the FBI to stop him from tracking down his wife are futile!

Between these two men and their friends and connections, the chase is on.
I was mesmerized and read the whole book in one sitting. Langley is a talented writer, keeping the story moving at a fast clip without skipping the details that make a story breathe. I hope that Mr. Langley is working on his next story, maybe with more about Fast Horse! I recommend this book for all readers and all age groups! Grab a copy and… Enjoy! Nov 26, Mumbo Gumbo rated it liked it. Quick and easy read. I read this book initially because of the New Mexico setting. Since I grew up in New Mexico I was expecting to recognize many of the place names.
However, the story only stays in New Mexico briefly, then heads north. Characters are good in a pulp fiction kind of way -- brief descriptions and more exposition than meaningful dialogue, but good nonetheless. This was my first novel by Langley, but I'll very likely read more. The 3-star rating is more for the lack of developmenta Quick and easy read.

This isn't my usual reading choice, but like many people, the Navajo people fascinate me and finding a new book that takes place in their territory in New Mexico.
I've never visited this corner of the world, however, although perhaps one day. Sharon and Arthur Nakai are trying to figure out why things don't seem to be the same between them, several years after the loss of a baby. The mood is sombre that morning when Sharon leaves for a job and Arthur is left to brood at home.
Description
Then Sharon is kidnapped by a man who has killed at least ten other women and the chase is on. The story moves quickly and I got pulled right in and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only quibble is that it seemed to end quite suddenly and a bit predictably, although it was definitely the right and only way to end it. Outside of that, I hope Mr Langley continues with this series as I will be keeping my eyes out for it!
Crime and mystery is not my usual read, awe but this book with its real characters I could hardly put it down. It had really gruesome murder scenes and murders, but I loved the old Native American sayings,and even how the vision of his father in law set Arthur Nakai off in the right direction to look for his kidnapped wife who had been taken by the killer. Sometimes it is hard to really express how much you love the book,I guess five stars almost explains it.
I enjoyed this book but I did skip some of the more gratuitous passages, especially the opening with the murder of a young girl. Arthur uses all his wits and his contacts to try and find his wife. The writing is tight and the pacing is excellent and there are some genuinely tense moments as Sharon does her best to survive, knowing her husband will try to find her. The characters are credible and the behaviours fit the situations. I will look out for more by this author. I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley in return for an honest review.
A wonderful book that grabs you and doesn't let go, you can't put it down till you're done! Haven't been this grabbed by a book in a long time. Now I wish it wasn't done! LOVED the magic of words on paper to move you to a differnt time and place! Jo Ann H, Bookseller. Their marriage has been drifting apart but they still love each other.
When a killer kidnaps his wife, he realizes how much Blackstone Publishing and Net Galley gave me the opportunity to read this book for review thank you. It will be published on August 14th. He's a stone-cold serial killer. He only grabbed her because she's on TV and may be useful in his quest to exit the states.
