Bitter Creek / The Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré (ePub)

“[Bitter Creek] is the fourteenth Du Pré novel and the first in eight years, and it marks the return of a wonderfully eclectic and enjoyable series, of interest to western crime readers, especially those favoring Montana authors C. J. Box, Craig Johnson, and Keith McCafferty as well as fans of the Hillermans and other Southwest-set mysteries.” —Booklist

“Peter Bowen’s Bitter Creek is likely the top of the Du Pré series, of which I’ve read all fourteen. It is a lively and absolutely fascinating look into Western history.” —Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall
 
“Peter Bowen writes mysteries that are truly mysterious—informed by Western legend, steeped in Indian superstition. . . . Riding with Du Pré is some kind of enchantment.” —The New York Times Book Review
 
“Du Pré joins a select group including Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe, and Dave Robicheaux, characters that readers feel they’ve known all their lives. . . . Thought-provoking and always entertaining, this latest chapter in Bowen’s ongoing Du Pré saga shows the author at the top of his form.” —William Hjortsberg, author of Falling Angel and Mañana
 
“Bowen plays his language the way Du Pré plays violin: plaintive, humorous, wild, the sounds of the sentences as meaningful as the story.” —The Washington Post Book World
 
“Bitter Creek is Peter Bowen’s unforgettable series hero Gabriel Du Pré at his fiddling, ditch-swilling, cruiser-tromping best.” —David McCumber, author of The Cowboy Way and Playing Off the Rail
