Funny, sharp, gritty Dahlgren Wallace is a Montana fly-fishing guide caught in the middle of a nasty war over land and history. Dahlgren is a former college football star, a veteran of the first Gulf War and a former member of the Marine Corps elite Force Recon. He thought he had put the world of intrigue and special forces behind him by becoming a fly-fishing guide. He's the river keeper and guide on an expansive, private Montana river owned by a media mogul. When the novel opens, Dahlgren is guiding when his boss's latest guest is bludgeoned to death, practically under Dahlgren's nose. Dahlgren is immediately suspected of the crime. In an effort to defend himself, Dahlgren must resort to the skills he learned in Special Ops-skills he had hoped he'd never need again. As he delves further into the case, he finds himself embroiled with a band of Neo-Nazi-type militia; a radical environmental movement; a colony of peaceful Hutterites; a kilt-wearing clandestine cattleman's organization; and the FBI. All the while, he is led down a twisted path of discovery and into the deepest recesses of Mormon history. Full of action, laugh-out-loud humor, and tremendous suspense and peopled with wonderfully surprising characters-from a Jewish deli-owner/scholar to a former Miss Utah-Blood Atonement is a winner. Tenuto's agile style and lightning-fast pace will make the world impatient for the next Dahlgren Wallace mystery.Tenuto, Jim is the author of 'Blood Atonement A Dahlgren Wallace Mystery', published 2005 under ISBN 9781592286133 and ISBN 1592286135.
