For fans of C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, and Nevada Barr — a Summer 1977 Wyoming thriller in which a plane crashes in Cloud Peak Wilderness, Chicago mobsters want whatever was on it, and a teenage boy's best friend doesn't come home. Dr. Patrick Flint is on a horseback camping trip in Cloud Peak Wilderness when a plane with a sputtering engine crashes just over the ridge. The injured survivor is Elvin Cross — a man Patrick knows from the Wind River Reservation. The money stuffed inside the plane's false skin, apparently, belongs to Chicago. Chicago has sent people to collect it. Back in Buffalo, escaped murderer Barb Lamkin is still at large. Susanne is alone at home preparing for a baby shower when she finds out. Perry is on the mountain with his best friend John Pantis. And the Chicago men have machine guns and no particular interest in leaving witnesses in the Cloud Peak boulder field. Snaggle Tooth is the series' most personal installment — the one where Perry loses his best friend and the weight of that loss reshapes him for the rest of the series. It is also the one where Patrick performs emergency medicine in a plane wreck using a travois he built himself, while taking fire from organized crime. And the one where Ben Jones shows up on the mountain to find Trish, which goes about as well as every other decision Ben Jones makes. Snaggle Tooth is the fifth Patrick Flint novel, set in the Cloud Peak Wilderness that author Pamela Fagan Hutchins hiked as a child. The mountains are real. The Chicago mobsters are fictional. The grief is not. Complete series: 9 novels. A crashed plane full of mob money, machine gun fire in a boulder field, and a teenage boy who went up the mountain with his best friend. Not all of them came down. Complete series: 9 novels. "Transports readers deep into the mountains of Wyoming for a thriller that has it all--wild animals, criminals, and one family willing to do whatever is necessary to protect its own. Hutchins writes with the authority of a woman who knows this world. She weaves the story with both nail-biting suspense and a healthy dose of humor. You won't want to miss it." -- Danielle Girard, Wall Street Journal-bestselling author of White Out "As many twists and turns as a high-country trail. Every parent's nightmare is the loss or injury of a child, and this powerful novel taps into that primal fear." -- Reavis Z.
