With his latest thriller, McBride delivers on all fronts – suspense, action, intrigue, unexpected twists, and a villain who makes Hannibal Lector look like a Boy Scout. Toss in a sweltering Arizona desert and a cast of characters who each have a secret agenda, and you’ve got The Coyote – one of the best books you’ll read this year." - JG Faherty, Bram Stoker-nominated author of Ghosts of Coronado Bay, Cemetery Club, and Carnival of Fear.“The Coyote is an engrossing thriller with a fascinating central character. Native-American FBI agent Lukas Walker has a wry, gritty voice that immediately compels readers to follow him on the dark trail of a serial killer. The mystery is intricate and involving, with surprising revelations at the character level, and many tense scenes as Walker digs deeper into the killer’s lair. There are effective moments of horror throughout, as we expect from Michael McBride—author of such books as Bloodletting and Burial Ground—but The Coyote is first-and-foremost a detective thriller. This book is sure to earn McBride many new fans—and we’ll all be demanding further adventures featuring Lukas Walker.” - Norman Prentiss, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Invisible Fences and Four Legs in the Morning"Every time I read a new book from Michael McBride I come away more impressed. He seemingly moves effortlessly between genres, producing chilling horrors, incredibly imaginative science fiction and fantasy, and top notch crime stories. With his newest novel, The Coyote, McBride gives us an edge of your seat nail-biter that is part police procedural and a dark thriller that actually manages to thrill. I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down. I personally think it may be his best effort yet; and that’s saying a lot. Trust me on this – The Coyote has bite! Highly recommended!" - Gord Rollo, Author of The Jigsaw Man and Valley Of The ScarecrowABOUT THE AUTHORMichael McBride is the author of the novels Burial Ground, Bloodletting, Innocents Lost, Predatory Instinct, and Vector Borne, as well as the novellas Snowblind, Xibalba, Blindspot, Brood XIX, and Zero.
