By: Paty Jager

Narrated by: Larry Gorman

This double cold case and current homicide have Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Trooper Gabriel Hawke calling in favors… and exploring a childhood he shoved into the deep recesses of his mind.

While patrolling on the Snake River in Hells Canyon, Gabriel Hawke’s dog digs up a human bone. Hawke is confronted by an aunt he doesn’t remember, and he finds a canister of film when the rest of the remains are excavated. The film shows someone being killed and a rifle pointed at the photographer.

Going through missing person files, Hawke discovers the victims of the decades-old double homicide. A person connected to the original crime is murdered, giving Hawke more leads and multiple suspects.

Attending a local Powwow with his family, Hawke discovers more about his childhood and realizes his suspects have been misleading him.

What a tangled web we weave

Oregon State Trooper/Fish and Wildlife service Gabriel Hawke is enjoying some river duty when he finds himself enmeshed in cold cases that turn into additional current cases but are all interconnected. The whole thing is a mess that just keeps getting worse. The good thing about it all is that it has Hawke rejoining his father's family and others at the dancing.
The descriptions of the wilderness and insights into the well developed characters (including Hawke's animal assistants) are every bit as engaging and researched as the intricate plot. Love this series and highly value Larry Gorman's narrations. I must admit that the Spotify site is a bit scatty for audiobooks and prefer other venues.
