Are they thieves? Pranksters? Local cattle inspector and sometime deputy Gabriel Du Pré guesses they're environmentalists, agitating for the reintroduction of native wolves to Montana's high plains.

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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Following time at the University of Michigan and the University of Montana, he published his first novel, \u003ci\u003eYellowstone Kelly\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1987. After two more novels featuring the real-life western hero, Bowen published \u003ci\u003eCoyote Wind\u003c\/i\u003e (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. \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 05, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47246003962105,"sku":"9781504052344","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/dTg1b0pCK0pZUGZ6WTBTbUh6dlBjdz09_dc513a62-4063-44aa-80a1-ae533ba80cc9.webp?v=1768610504","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/wolf-no-wolf-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
