The Vanishing Kind

“Compelling, captivating, and compulsively page-turning. Alice Henderson is a master at drawing the reader into the rugged terrain where wildlife biologist Alex Carter finds the endangered jaguar isn’t the only one in the crosshairs. With a ripped from the headlines plot, The Vanishing Kind is environmental suspense at its finest.” — James L’Etoile, award-winning author of Face of Greed and River of Lies “Henderson neatly integrates a master class on forests, caribou, and other endangered animals into Alex’s suspenseful search for caribou—and for a killer. The eventual sighting of the elusive caribou, ‘the gray ghosts of the forest,’ is indeed an exciting moment. Alex, who thrives on the outdoors and solitude, makes a formidable heroine, while the breathtaking scenery illustrates why a person would want to be one with nature. Environmental crime fiction doesn’t get much better than this.” — Publishers Weekly on A Ghost of Caribou “Readers who enjoy a well-paced, suspenseful thriller will give this book a thumbs up, but A Ghost of Caribou is more than that…As much as we care about Alex’s fate at the hands of a killer, we also care about the animal that brought her to the mountains in the first place. There’s real passion here, and that gives the novel added substance.” — Booklist “[A] superb thriller of heart-pounding suspense set amid the rugged beauty and majestic wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.” — Dirk Cussler, New York Times bestselling author, on A Ghost of Caribou “Truly a novel of suspense with chilling undercurrents of danger and murder…I was utterly captivated…exciting and riveting.” — Fresh Fiction on A Ghost of Caribou "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the woods…Alice Henderson has penned another taut environmental thriller that will leave you breathless.” — Robin Burcell, New York Times bestselling author, on A Ghost of Caribou “A Solitude of Wolverines by Alice Henderson is a thriller with a heart, a riveting story of conspiracy, murder, and wilderness survival that will keep you turning the pages. Vivid characters, a pulse-pounding plot, a fascinating wildlife-conservation background, and beautifully realized settings make this an exceptional read. This is the first book in a series about wildlife biologist Alex Carter; I can’t wait for the next one.” — Douglas Preston, bestselling coauthor of Relic and Crooked River “What a treat! Alice Henderson has delivered a treasure of a novel—and, to readers’ delight, a promise of more where this came from. Her depiction of the natural world in all its beauty and terror is spot-on. Into this she weaves a cast of characters both original and fascinating, as well as a heroine who does the unbelievable, yet one can believe it. A great read!” — New York Times bestselling author Nevada Barr on A Solitude of Wolverines “A true stunner of a thriller debut...It’s so fraught with excitement and wondrous details that it demands to be read in one sitting and savored afterward. Don’t miss it.” — New York Times bestselling author James Rollins on A Solitude of Wolverines “With a plot and character arc that leap from the frying pan into the fire, A Solitude of Wolverines sizzles with action, dripping with the kind of characters and environs that make for a long-lasting series in which readers can really sink their teeth.” — Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire series
