A Ghost of Caribou

A Novel of Suspense

By: Alice Henderson

Narrated by: Eva Kaminsky

Building upon the highly acclaimed debut of Alice Henderson’s A Solitude of Wolverines and its follow-up thriller A Blizzard of Polar Bears comes the eagerly anticipated and electrifying third installment A Ghost of Caribou, in which wildlife biologist Alex Carter encounters an unsolved murder and a town in turmoil while in search of this majestic, all-but-vanished animal.

When a remote camera on a large, rugged expanse held by the Land Trust for Wildlife Conservation picks up a blurry image of what could be a mountain caribou, they contact Alex Carter to investigate. After all, mountain caribou went extinct in the contiguous U.S. years ago, and if one has wandered down from Canada, it’s monumental.

But when Alex arrives on scene in the Selkirk mountains of northeastern Washington state, she quickly learns that her only challenge isn’t finding an elusive caribou on a massive piece of land. The nearby townspeople are agitated; loggers and activists clash over a swath of old growth forest marked for clearcutting. The murdered body of a forest ranger is found strung up in the town’s park, and Alex learns of a backcountry hiker who went missing in the same area the year before.

As she ventures into the forest in search of the endangered animal, she quickly finds herself in a fight for her life, caught between factions warring for the future of the forest and a murderer stalking the dense groves of ancient trees.

Alice Henderson is a Superstar

Having now finished all three of the Alex Carter books I am completely hooked. Fast paced and full of action the books keep you listening but it is the wildlife descriptions that fascinate me. Passionate about the preservation of wildlife and wild spaces, these books inspire me to do more to help fight climate change and save wildlife for future generations. Thank you Alice Henderson. Eva Kaminsky is a terrific narrator too. Eager for the next book.

Great Adventure Story!

I love stories about the outdoors. This was a great outdoor mystery thriller. I love this author so much and would purchase again!

Awesome book and series!

This book and the others in the series kept me on the edge of my seat and I loved every minute of it. They also had great story lines and spoke of our natural world with such love and caring. It is nice to know that there are others out there that feel the same way I do.

Intense

This was the most suspenseful and intense Alex Carter book yet. I love how Henderson blends conservation information with each thriller.

Get mystery/thriller with a message

Great books that the author builds her plot around the blight of an endangered animal. She also sprinkles each book with true facts about said animal and it’s habitat.
