“If you read 2009’s Beat The Reaper, you’re familiar with Josh Bazell’s Dr. Peter Brown, a former mafia hitman turned ER doctor, now in the Witness Protection Program. In Wild Thing, Pietro “Bearclaw” Brnwa has a new name and is sent to the Minnesota Boundary Lakes region to accompany a scientist in her investigation into reports of a strange creature. What’s in it for him? Maybe a way to keep the mob off his back for good. Bazell writes like Michael Crichton possessed by the spirit of Quentin Tarantino, so readers who can handle pervasive foul language and violence will be treated to a compelling—and even humorous—escapade. This is definitely not a by-the- numbers sequel to Reaper, and Bazell’s coarse and fast-paced style should keep fans of the first book happy.”—Terry, Sage Book Store, Shelton, WA.
