A Whiff Of Garlic (A Silver Dagger Mystery)

By David Hunter

Book Overview

Veteran detective Doyle Griffin pays little attention to the news that someone has broken into the Museum of Legends In the nearby tourist town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and has stolen the werewolf exhibit -- a silver crucifix and six silver bullets. Then victims start turning up in his own county, beheaded with silver bullets in their hearts, canine hair on their clothes, and garlic stuffed into their body cavities. The detective turns to Sarah Trinkle, his girlfriend, who is a Wlocan priestess and a licensed psychotherapist, for help with the case.Who did it? Was it the professed werewolf who raises and sells wolves? Was it the Indian craftsman, a former police officer, who made the silver bullets? Or was it the taxidermist with strange things in his freezer? You'll still be wondering when you get to the last chapter.

Whiff of Garlic

Great book, fast paced and a story plot that borders on old world dective series and sc/fi.

A page-turner

David Hunter has flawlessly blended police work with the occult in this mystery. You will be guessing right up to the last chapter. No magic needed to make this book great.

A Hard-Edge Mystery With A Supernatural Twist

This has to be the best mystery that David Hunter has ever written. It's a hard-boiled who-done-it with a supernatural edge. It has everything--fast action, werewolves, and a plot that will keep you guessing until the very last page. I highly recommend this book, not only for those who like mysteries, but for those who enjoy police proceedurals as well.
