Produktbeschreibung

THE GREATEST MIND SINCE SHERLOCK HOLMES. Dr. Peyton McKean and his friend Fin Morton investigate a series of murders in the desert canyons of Eastern Washington State. Police suspect a Native American man who haunts the desert canyonlands. But the native man, Charlie Moses, declares his innocence and points the finger of blame at an ancient, legendary creature that is half man and half coyoteWoyotl.

McKean and Morton trace a trail of DNA evidence that leads to the nuclear facility at Hanford, and into the sagebrush lands beyond. As they close in on the perpetrators in the desert wastelands, they discover a pack of coyotes following a leader who seems to fit Charlie Moses' legend only too well. The answer to this murder mystery is more astonishing and terrifying than anyone could have imagined.

Autorenporträt

Thomas Patrick Hopp routinely imagines the unimaginable. He writes science fiction and mystery thriller novels that draw on his background as a scientist and scholar of the natural world in all its glory and terror. His stories have won multiple literary awards and garnered him a worldwide following. He is a member of both the Mystery Writers of America and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America and served for several years as President of the Northwest Chapter of MWA. Tom is also an internationally recognized molecular biologist. He discovered powerful immune-system hormones and helped found the multi-billion-dollar Seattle biotechnology company Immunex Corporation. He advised the team that created Immunex's blockbuster arthritis drug Enbrel. He developed the first commercially successful nanotechnology device, a molecular handle for manipulating proteins at the atomic level, which is used by medical researchers around the world to study human cells and every major microbe known to science.

Tom's NORTHWEST TALES are thrillers set against backdrops of disaster, whether natural or man-made. Earthquakes, eruptions, and epidemics are grist for these gripping adventures. Tom's mystery stories follow Dr. Peyton McKean, a super-intelligent sleuth known as "The Greatest Mind Since Sherlock Holmes." Viruses, microbes, and evil geniuses form the core of his opposition. Tom's DINOSAUR WARS science fiction stories read like "Star Wars meets Jurassic Park." Featuring laser-blasting space invaders and huge beasts from the past, they follow Yellowstone Park naturalist Chase Armstrong and Montana rancher's daughter Kit Daniels, who struggle to survive in a world where dinosaurs live again. Most of Tom's tumultuous adventures are suitable for readers young and old.
