Wolf Point

A brand-new crime series set in the Alaskan wilderness, a gripping mystery of breath-taking beauty and suspense, where secrets lie hidden in a tight-knit community, and where trouble ALWAYS comes calling at Terril Black's door.

'A brutal, wild, and wonderful thriller. Atmospheric, clever and full of heart, Wolf Point is a truly stunning debut novel'
Chris Whitaker, New York Times No.1 bestselling author of All The Colours Of The Dark and We Begin At The End

'With its brilliantly stormy setting and slippery cast of suspects, this dark, evocative crime debut will give you the chills - in every sense of the word'
Louise Candlish, Sunday Times bestselling author of Our House, The Heights and The Only Suspect

One missing girl. Three possibilities. No turning back.

Wolf Point, Alaska.

When police officer Terril Black is thrust into the role of sergeant under brutal circumstances, she expects a quiet first night in charge. Instead, a teenage girl vanishes from a remote motel - and for Terril, walking away is never an option.

With a department that doesn't want a woman in charge, a hostile officer undermining her at every turn, and a rookie fresh from Miami as her only back-up, she is plunged into a desperate missing persons investigation, racing against time and the elements.

Here, it isn't the first 48 hours that count - it's the first four to eight. After that, even something innocent can end badly.

But as she digs deeper, unsettling clues point towards something dark festering beneath the surface of this isolated small town. And when a violent snowstorm cuts them off from the outside world, Terril isn't just fighting to save the girl - she's fighting to get out alive.

A gripping debut crime novel for readers of Gillian Flynn, Chris Whitaker, Jane Harper and Tana French.

'Lisa Howells pulls off the near-impossible in this stunning debut. Not only has she written an intensely gripping thriller, she has also crafted a powerhouse protagonist in Terril Black - a lone female detective in charge of a team as hostile as her environment. Beautifully written, the vividly realised landscape is as much a character as the people of Wolf Point and almost as dangerous. Full of dark secrets and gasp-out-loud revelations, miss this 'just-one-more-chapter' page-turner at your peril'
Fiona Cummings, bestselling author of When I Was Ten and Richard & Judy Book Club pick All Of Us Are Broken

'There's nothing glacial about this ice-bound thriller, as it drags you kicking and screaming into the darkest of corners. The prose is sublime, sleek and slips behind your defenses to leave you breathless by the end. A remarkably assured debut'

Along with Sergeant Terril Black - a formidable protagonist you wouldn't dare bet against - and a cast of expertly drawn characters you instantly connect with, this novel conjures a unique, frozen darkness that will leave you thrilled and chilled. Quite simply outstanding in every way'
Rob Parker, author of Far From The Tree
