--C.J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author

In Montana's Gravelly Range, paw prints and a single whisker discovered at a scene of horrific violence suggest a woman had been attacked and carried away by a mountain lion. Sheriff Martha Ettinger employs her fiancé, sometimes-detective Sean Stranahan, to put a name to the gnawed bones comprising all that is left of the body. The woman's is the first of several deaths that Sean suspects are not as easily explained as they appear. . As a reign of terror grips the Madison Valley, blood in the tracks will lead him from the river below to the snow-covered ridge tops, as Sean finds himself on his most adventurous and dangerous quest yet. For as he comes closer to unearthing the secret shared by the dead and missing, the tracks he is following will turn, and the hunter becomes the hunted.

Praise for The Bangtail Ghost

Praise for Keith McCafferty and the Sean Stranahan mystery series:

"McCafferty does a marvelous job of manipulating mood, moving from light to dark... a must for Craig Johnson and C. J. Box fans."--Booklist (Starred)

"With wry humor, Montana PI Sean Stranahan negotiates the territory between tradition and public interest with native rights in a mystery filled with characters we city folks don't meet often enough."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Keith McCafferty gets the West just right with its cast of individualistic characters, stunning backdrops and a past that breaks through in violent and unexpected ways. Buffalo Jump Blues is an impressive crime novel, and McCafferty is an impressive writer."--Margaret Coel, New York Times bestselling author of The Man Who Fell From the Sky and Winter's Child

"In an old and crowded field, Keith has created characters fresh, quirky and yet utterly believable, then stirred them into a mystery that unfolds with grace and humor against a setting of stunning beauty and danger."--Nevada Barr, New York Times bestselling author of the Anna Pigeon Mysteries
