The Saint of Wolves and Butchers

When Kansas State Trooper Skottie Foster gives a routine warning to a man in a rest area, she doesn't realize that she is about to be drawn into a tempest. Travis Roan, recipient of the warning, is a Nazi hunter. She listens to him, but she doesn't believe him. The Nazis are all dead, aren't they? If they're not, they're really old. They'll be elderly, true, Travis tells her, but still must be brought to judgment. Then there's the matter of a previous investigator who has vanished, like so many others in the area. When Travis finds trouble in the small town of Paradise Flats, he calls on Skottie, who reluctantly agrees to help him. This contemporary thriller from Grecian ("Scotland Yard Murder Squad" series) is an excellent tale of good vs. evil. Believability can be thin in places, but it doesn't distract. Add in a smart child, a shaggy monster of a dog, and an übervillain or two with no conscience and you have the recipe for a great modern adventure story.
