Fair Chase

The rumored arrival of a rare lone wolf tips a community into crisis in this standalone sequel to The Trouble Up North. The locals fear for their pets and livestock, while the developers fear their construction will be halted if the feds learn an endangered species is present, and hire a poacher to eliminate the threat. But fourteen-year-old foster kid Delos sees an opportunity and partners with the notorious and feared Sawbrook family, who he knows to be firmly on the side of wild things. He hopes they’ll be on his side, too, because, like the wolf, he’s in need of protection. This atmospheric, slow-burning suspense set in Michigan’s U.P. explores safety, love, belonging, and the beauty of the wild. For fans of Peter Heller’s The Last Ranger and Charlotte McConaghy’s Once There Were Wolves.
