Dire

David Wolf Mystery Thriller Series #8 / 19
by Jeff Carson
Dire (David Wolf Mystery Thriller Series #8) by Jeff Carson
Unrated

Just as Detective David Wolf and his new girlfriend get started, so does the killing. The International Bestselling series continues with an edge of your seat mystery thriller.

When a man careens off the road into the frigid waters of the Chautauqua River, Chief Detective David Wolf risks his own life to bring the man to shore. News of Wolf’s bravery travels fast through the burgeoning ski town of Rocky Points, Colorado, and before long he’s pulled into the political grinder, where candidates are eager to exploit Wolf’s character for their own gain.

Injured as well in the process, it seems his heroic deed was some cruel twist of fate, that is, until he meets Lauren Coulter, a new girl in town and a nurse at the local hospital.

Lauren is smart, beautiful, and just Wolf’s type. The connection between them is there. But just as they get started, so does the killing. And as bodies start emerging, so do the secrets from Lauren’s troubled past.

Has fate steered Wolf to the wrong woman? Or is someone more devious behind the wheel? Lives will depend on how fast Wolf can come up with the answer, and this time, living with failure will prove to be something much worse than death.

Jeff Carson

My name is Jeff Carson, author of the mystery-thriller David Wolf Series and Ali Falco Series. I live in Colorado with my wife and two sons. My wife is from Italy, so I've spent some time jumping back and forth between there and the states, the longest stint of our family staying in Italy together being ten months.

It was during that long stay in Italy that I had an epiphany (breakdown?) and realized I needed a change, so I started writing fiction with every intent on making a living doing it within two years. It was probably pretty interesting sounding to my wife when I told her the news, but I laid out my case, citing many success stories I'd seen online of self-published authors.

Read more ...

I told Cristina I would publish ten stories, and then, and only then, would I entertain the idea of giving up if it wasn't working.

So I started the David Wolf Series, diving headfirst, firing first and aiming later ... probably aiming too late. (Just take a look at the early Foreign Deceit reviews ... wait ... no don't ...) I got some bad reviews, but I fixed the stories and re-published them as needed. 

Now I have 18 full length novels in two different series and one short story. And thanks to support from readers like you, it's working, so I'm going to continue until the carpal tunnel really digs in and I have to use my elbows or voice-activated typing.

I hope you like the books, and I'd love to hear what you think. Drop me a line on the contact page, leave a comment anywhere you like, email me at Jeff@JeffCarson.co, visit me on Facebook, or whatever you want to do.
