Panther Gap

A Novel

De: James A. McLaughlin

Narrado por: MacLeod Andrews

The thrilling follow-up to the Edgar Award-winning Bearskin, about two siblings on the verge of inheriting millions but who discover dark secrets in their family’s past.

Siblings Bowman and Summer were raised by their father and two uncles on a remote Colorado ranch. They react differently to his radical teachings and the confusions of adolescence. As young adults, they become estranged but are brought back together in their thirties by the prospect of an illegal and potentially dangerous inheritance from their grandfather. They must ultimately reconcile with each other and their past in order to defeat ruthless criminal forces trying to extort the inheritance.

Set in the rugged American West and populated by drug cartels, shadowy domestic terrorists, and nefarious business interests, Panther Gap shows James McLaughlin’s talents on full display: gorgeous environmental writing, a white-knuckle thriller plot, and characters dealing with legacy, identity, and their own place in the world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Panther Gap has rattlesnakes, shoot-outs, drug cartels, and international intrigue, as well as a riveting plot and characters who will stay with you long after you finish. On top of all that, there’s flat-out amazing prose and some of the best nature writing you’ll find anywhere. Panther Gap is a modern classic of the American West.” —David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Anthony and Thriller Award-winning author of Winter Counts

"James McLaughlin has done it again, created a multi-layered thriller filled not only with relentless, heart-pounding suspense, but achingly beautiful writing about our deep, sometimes mystical relationship to nature and each other. You’ll definitely want to clear your calendar for this one." —Angie Kim, Edgar Award-winning author of Miracle Creek

“With Panther Gap, McLaughlin has surpassed his award-winning debut and offered up a complex and brutal installment in the rural thriller wheelhouse. If picture perfect settings, plotting as skilled as McCarthy, and prose reminiscent of Larry Brown, is what you’re looking for, McLaughlin is your huckleberry. He’s one of the finest storytellers out there today.” —Brian Panowich, author of Bull Mountain, Hard Cash Valley, and Nails

Excellent - well narrated and clever plot

The narrator was excellent, the characters were rich and interesting, and the plot was clever. The descriptions of the settings were detailed and vivid, so it was easy to visualize the scenes. I didn’t want this book to end and stayed up late to finish it. Highly recommended.

Edge of your seat story.

My only regret about purchasing this book is that I wish it were 3 times as long!

Fabulous

I read the book Bearskin years ago and truly enjoyed it. Since then I have waited for another book to come out by this author. Panther Gap is just as intriguing. The narrator is wonderful. I felt like I have sat around a nice cozy fire and listened to an intriguing story. I listened to the book in one setting having set aside the day to listen to it. I believe that you will truly enjoy this book and also his other book. Thank you Mr. McLaughlin for sharing your talent with us

Wonderful story!

Amazing second book by this amazing author. Intelligent, thoughtful writing. I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Scrambled Storyline

Struggled to finish. Hugely disappointed because after his first fascinating novel; I anxiously awaited this? Dull, boring, uninteresting and nonsensical in every respect. It seemed yet another author with a contracted book commitment and deadline. Next? Not sure I'm interested in anticipating.

Disjointed, slow, silly - who cares

Disjointed flow, slow development, no characters to care about, predictable, trite, tosses in quasi spiritual Native American heritage, blah blah
