<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Gabriel Du Pré</b><b> is back in action, coming to the aid of a whistleblower on the run, in this all-new novel in a "wonderfully eclectic and enjoyable series" (<i>Booklist</i>).</b> <p/> When a hunted military whistleblower and his family need someplace to hide and someone to trust, Toussaint, Montana, is the place, and Gabriel Du Pré the man. The Métis Indian former cattle inspector and sometimes deputy is happy to offer protection, even though he's already got his hands full with an ailing granddaughter, a meddling medicine man, and a Kazakh eagle hunter prowling the hills above town. <p/> As a guard at a Kabul prison, Hoyt Poe witnessed his fellow soldiers abusing the Afghan inmates. Poe's testimony threatens to expose the military contractor that led the prison's brutal interrogation program. Now, Temple Security's billionaire founder, Lloyd Cutler, wants him dead. But how long can the fugitive and his family lay low before Cutler's mercenaries come to Du Pré's hometown looking for trouble? <p/> Packed with pulse-pounding suspense, wry humor, and the romance of small-town Montana, <i>Solus </i>continues the irresistible adventures of the one of a kind Gabriel Du Pré, "a character of legendary proportions" (<i>New York Times-</i>bestselling author Ridley Pearson). <p/> Solus <i>is the 15th book in the </i><i>Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.</i> <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pré</b> <br> "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." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/> "Bowen plays his language the way Du Pré plays violin: plaintive, humorous, wild, the sounds of the sentences as meaningful as the story." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i> <p/> "[Peter Bowen] writes about the rural West better than anyone. . . . He gets it right over and over again." --<i>Rocky Mountain News</i> <p/> "Beneath Bowen's delightfully extravagant characters lurks a warning: the inevitable clashes between outsiders and natives are sometimes funny, sometimes violent, but ultimately tragic." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Peter Bowen (b. 1945) is best known for his mystery novels set in the modern American West. When he was ten, Bowen's family moved to Bozeman, Montana, where a paper route introduced him to the grizzled old cowboys who frequented a bar called The Oaks. Listening to their stories, some of which stretched back to the 1870s, Bowen found inspiration for his later fiction. <p/> Following time at the University of Michigan and the University of Montana, he published his first novel, <i>Yellowstone Kelly</i>, in 1987. After two more novels featuring the real-life western hero, Bowen published <i>Coyote Wind</i> (1994), which introduced Gabriel Du Pré, a mixed-race lawman living in fictional Toussaint, Montana. He has written fifteen novels in the series, in which Du Pré gets tangled up in everything from cold-blooded murder to the hunt for rare fossils. Bowen continues to live and write in Livingston, Montana. <br>
