Alive and Killing (David Wolf Book 3) Kindle Edition

The Amazon bestselling series continues as David Wolf is pulled into deadly action with the last person he wants by his side—his teenaged son.

Just for a day, Colorado Sheriff David Wolf trades slogging through murky meltwaters and even murkier small-town politics for an overnight camping trip in the wilderness with his son. But when a man with fresh burns turns up on their trail, falling from the heavy load in his backpack and running wild from something, Wolf suspects the camping trip may have taken a turn for the worse.

Unfortunately his instincts are spot on, and Wolf is forced into action with the last person he wants by his side in a deadly battle. When news of their episode travels through the valleys, local FBI agents want to take over the investigation, hoping to halt murder and corruption originating 7,000 miles away in Afghanistan. But national security or not, Jack’s safety is at stake, and orders to stand down fall on Wolf's deaf ears.

In this stomach-dropping, action and suspense-packed third installment of the David Wolf Mystery Thriller series, Wolf partners with Kristen Luke, an FBI agent from the local field office, and quickly learns he and his son aren't out of danger yet. Because someone the authorities thought dead may actually be alive, and viciously killing.

Can they solve the mystery emerging from the other side of the world before the fallout destroys all Wolf holds close at home? Alive and Killing has mystery, thrills, suspense, and action that will grab and pin you down until the final page.

Jeff Carson is the International-Bestselling author of the David Wolf and Ali Falco Series. Set in the high country of Colorado, mountain west, and Europe, his books are chock-full of action, mystery, thrills, suspense, and twists you'll never see coming. Add a bit of humor and romance, a colorful cast of characters, all set in ruggedly beautiful territory, and it's clear why the novels have gained acclaim among readers.

The first novel in the David Wolf series, Foreign Deceit, is an international mystery-thriller he wrote while living in Italy for a year with his wife and son. The next 15 books in the still ongoing David Wolf series are set in the mountain-western United States. The Ali Falco series stars a detective in the Siena region of Tuscany, Italy.   

Jeff acquired a love for adventure-thriller-mystery-suspense fiction at a young age by listening to audio books while driving the vast landscapes of the western U.S. with his family. One leg of a trip from Denver to Payette, Idaho (to visit relatives) was enough time to squeeze in a good Cussler, a Christie, a Child, a Silva, a Box, a Flynn, a Cornwell, a Baldacci, or one of the others he considers master story-tellers. Now he incorporates many the same elements of those authors in his own writing.

Jeff and his wife currently live with their two sons in Colorado.

SMOOTH EASY READ DRAWS YOU INTO THE SCENERY AND CLOSER TO CHARACTERS
Te author sure knows what he's doing and sometimes glosses over things but in general he draws you into the story with the easy going manner of the Sheriff who's his lead character. The first book was disjointed with the hop from mountains of Colorado and a story in the making to Italy and a totally different feel. But the hero stayed the hero nonetheless and he picked up speed as a Dad and a determined man in this book. I am planning on reading the whole series so I can enjoy the talent of this writer and the world he is creating. I am learning a lot from this series. Would love to see it on TV sometime!

It is so hard to keep up when so much is going on. This was a good story line. A dad and son go camping and all he'll breaks loose. You can't stop reading for fear of missing something. It turned out to be a very good story.

Excellent, fast-moving crime thriller similar to the two previous ones I have read from this author. The story highlights how greed coupled with (law enforcement) power and authority can make people to be ruthless and go to any extremes to perpetuate serious crimes.

This book was a non stop entangled plot that kept you thinking you knew what was going to happen . Then you realize there is another twist that leads you down a different path. In the end the author brings it all together in an ending that suggest a whole lot of new beginnings. Thank you for the great read.

Niente male davvero questo romanzo, dove l'autore ti prende per mano e ti trascina in un vortice di eventi.
Certo, la credibilità a tratti lascia un po' a desiderare e il finale è prevedibile, ma si tratta comunque di una lettura piacevole.
