Wolf, No Wolf and Notches: The Third and Fourth Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel du Pre

Review Praise for the Gabriel Du Pré Mysteries “Riding with Du Pré is some kind of enchantment.... Peter Bowen writes mysteries that are truly mysterious—informed by Western legend, steeped in Indian superstition.”— The New York Times Book Review on Notches “Wonderfully sly...Bowen plays his language the way Du Pré plays violin: plaintive, humorous, wild.”— The Washington Post Book World on Wolf, No Wolf “Wonderful...wise...Hilarious as the satire often is, what makes these stories so rare is the byplay among the natives.”— The Washington Post Book World “Bowen tells his story in short, perfectly crafted scenes. The dialogue, the relationships, the Montana landscape, and, most of all, the quirky and memorable characters are all matchlessly drawn. If John Nichols wrote mystery fiction, it might read a lot like Peter Bowen.”— The Denver Post “Bowen’s writing is lean and full of mordant observations. His hardy characters...come to life, and his wry humor provides relief from the haunting, wind-bitten cattle-ranch landscape.”— Publishers Weekly (starred review) About the Author Peter Bowen, a Montanan, writes of the West. Cowboy, hunting and fishing guide, folksinger, poet, essayist, and novelist, he’s written the picaresque Yellowstone Kelly historical novels, humor columns and essays on blood sports as Coyote Jack, and the Gabriel Du Pré mysteries, in part because “the Métis are a great people, a wonderful people, and not many Americans know anything about them.”
