An injured drifter shows up at the door, and Patrick takes him in. When the power and communications go out that night, people start dying, and the drifter is nowhere to be found. Patrick is caught between his duty to his patient, his loyalty to his family, and his fear for all of their lives. With the storm still raging, will there be any survivors left in the hospital when help finally arrives?
"Best books I've read in a long time!"
"Patrick pulled out his pistol and pointed the barrel at the ground of the ravine, following the sounds of the barking and growling of his Irish wolfhound. He drew a deep breath and rounded the corner, ready for anything.
Or he thought he was ready for anything. A big animal. His dog caught in a trap. An out-of-season rattler. But what he found his dog guarding was something no one could ever truly be ready for.
A person. Beaten to a pulp. Unrecognizable. The blood, fresh. Possibly dead. No. No, no, no.
But wishing it were different didn't make it so."

Joe Pickett & Walt Longmire fans love these 1970s Wyoming mysteries from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. When Patrick Flint goes after a murderer on the Wind River Reservation, he puts everything —and everyone — he cares about on the line. "Best books I've read in a long time!" Patrick Flint feels a calling to volunteer at the impoverished Indian Health Services clinic on the Wind River Reservation that he can't completely explain. His wife Susanne supports this—usually—but her family is coming for their first Wyoming visit, twelve-year-old Perry is stir crazy and looking for trouble, teenager Trish is dangerously in love, and she and Patrick are in the final stages of negotiations for their dream house. The Christmas holidays are not a convenient time for him to be gone, to say the least, or to be out of communication, which is exactly what happens when a series of blizzards knocks out power and phone lines all over the region. When Patrick arrives in Fort Washakie to a flirty reception from the young clinic manager, Constance, he discovers Big Mike Teton, a tribal council member, dead in the health center parking lot. The circumstances point toward poisoning, but local law enforcement pooh-poohs that idea the second Patrick brings it up. So does Big Mike's widow—none other than the lovely Constance. Stranded in the storm, Patrick follows his heart and the medical evidence in his quest to figure out what killed Big Mike. No one on the reservation seems happy about his involvement. But they aren't half as unhappy with him as Susanne is back in Buffalo when their realtor calls with a make-or-break counteroffer on the house, and she still can't reach him after two days of radio silence. As Patrick's investigation begins to ruffle the wrong feathers, a frantic Susanne loads up the kids and her extended family for a trek across Wyoming to roust her husband, only to discover she's not the only woman with a strong interest in the good doctor.

When a killer threatens his family before their testimony in a capital murder trial, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe. A peaceful day of skiing for the family. The murder of a prominent judge's wife. A witness becomes the next target: thirteen-year-old Perry Flint. Patrick, his wife Susanne, and their kids head to the mountains for a day of skiing. At the lodge, thirteen-year-old Perry is the sole eyewitness to the murder of a prominent judge's wife, only days before the first capital murder trial in the state of Wyoming since its reinstatement by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Susanne and Trish are gearing up to testify against ruthless killer Billy Kemecke at the trial, unless his criminal family can stop them first. With his family threatened from all sides, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe. "Best book I've read in a long time!" "What about us?" To Trish Flint's surprise, her younger brother Perry's voice didn't waver or even crack. "Are you going to kill us?" Their captor turned to him again. "I thought you were smart, but I take it back. Of course I am, Perry. You can identify me, and you were going to tell your family about me. You're the only thing tying me to the murder of Jeannie Renkin. I'm sorry. It's nothing personal." Just then, while their captor's eyes were still on Perry, a mountain lion jumped in the road right in front of the truck. It was enormous in the dusky gloom of the headlights. Trish screamed. Their captor's head whipped forward. Arms jerked to the right. The truck lurched toward the rock face towering above them and one of the signs that said the rocks were old as dirt. Their captor wrenched the wheel away from the rock. The truck smashed into the cougar with a sickening thud, skittered to the left, and kept going. Trish's head snapped forward and she braced herself against the dashboard. Beside her, Perry wasn't as lucky. His body slammed into the gear shift and dashboard. The weight of his body ripped the rearview mirror off the windshield. For a moment, Trish thought everything was going to be okay, until their captor's overcorrection sent the truck careening off the side of the road and into the nothingness over Clear Creek. "A roller-coaster ride from the first page to the last!" Sawbones is the third book in the suspenseful Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn't Kill You saga.

When a man who isn't who he claims to be befriends adventurous young doctor Patrick Flint and his teenage son during a wilderness excursion with movers and shakers from across the globe, it puts the father-son duo dead in the bullseye of a murder target. To stop a gang of ruthless killers, the Flints must unriddle the mystery man's identity before the killers put a stop to them all. "Leaving the dead ranch hand on the living room floor, Patrick Flint sucked in a shallow breath and wrenched the door knob in the kitchen, pulling outwards to expose a deep pantry. A bare bulb with a pull string hung from the ceiling, illuminating cans of food and bags of rice, beans, sugar, and flour on the shelves, and a long-legged man with a boot missing from one foot slumped against the base of the wall. He held one hand on his bleeding head, hair color indeterminate. The other pressed into his round, oozing gut. Patrick drew in a sharp breath. This bunkhouse was a bloodbath. What in Hell's half acre had he stumbled into?" "Best book I've read in a long time!" 4.7-star series rating.
