Wolf Pass — Steve Thayer

The "quirky and refreshing" (USA Today) hero of The Wheat Field returns to probe the dark corners of small-town America and solve a vicious double homicide....

A railroad engineer is shot at long range by an unseen marksman -- and soon afterward, his sexy young wife meets a similar fate. Deputy Sheriff P. A. Pennington -- a former Army Ranger sniper -- falls under immediate suspicion. But he has a suspect of his own. Though he hasn't seen the man since World War II, Pennington is convinced that an old wartime nemesis -- Nazi colonel Christian Wolfgang Stangl -- is to blame. Back then, it was Pennington's sharpshooting that disrupted the operations of a crucial Bavarian railroad pass commanded by the colonel.

Now it's 1962 -- and the Wolf is at the door....
