Book Description

Series: Silhouette Romantic Suspense | Publication Date: November 1, 2008

Sergeant Gabriel Caruso arrived in the remote Yukon wilderness with one goal: to erase all memories of the serial killer who had ruined his life. But he soon discovered that the madman was hot on his heels—and after anything that touched Gabe's heart. Including local tracker Silver Karvonen.

As Silver plotted with Gabe to stop their predator, she matched more than wits with the Mountie. Even the icy tundra couldn't muffle the heat simmering between them. But for Silver and Gabe, love could very well be a matter of life and death.

Review

After Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Gabe Caruso can't save his fiancee from a sadistic serial killer, he has trouble dealing with the guilt. His only consolation is that he put the man in jail. Cutting himself off, Gabe takes a post in Black Arrow Falls, a small town in the Yukon. There, he meets tracker Silver Karvonen, a woman with secrets of her own. Both are stunned to feel the pull of attraction. Then the killer escapes, and Gabe knows that trouble is on the way. Loreth Anne White serves up some creepy chills in Manhunter (4), as a serial killer wages both psychological and physical warfare. This compelling tale, part of the Wild Country series, features two emotionally scarred people who discover that being together makes them stronger.

More About the Author

Loreth Anne White was born and raised in southern Africa, but now lives in a ski resort high in the moody British Columbian Coast Mountain range. It's a place of vast, wild and often dangerous mountains, larger-than-life characters, epic adventure, and romance -- the perfect place to escape reality.

It's no wonder it was here she was inspired to abandon a 16-year career as a journalist, features writer, and editor (under the name Loreth Beswetherick) to escape into a world of romantic fiction filled with dangerous men and adventurous women.

When she's not writing you will find her long-distance running, biking or skiing on the trails, and generally trying to avoid the bears. She calls this work, because it's when the best ideas come.

This review is from: Manhunter (Silhouette Romantic Suspense) (Mass Market Paperback)

Readers of Loreth Anne White's Silhouette Romantic Suspense novels have come to expect quality entertainment and nail-biting suspense from this talented author. Manhunter may be Ms. White's most exciting book yet. I was captivated by this story of a serial killer hunting a RCMP officer in the icy northern Canadian territory from page one. The tension and excitement never lets up and the tender romance between Silver, a woman with a dark secret to hide, and Gabe, a cop who has a score to settle with a killer, is truly touching and emotional. If you haven't tried a book by Loreth Anne White before, you are missing out! Manhunter is a fast-paced, emotionally complex read that is sure to please.

This review is from: Manhunter (Silhouette Romantic Suspense) (Mass Market Paperback)

Kurtz Steiger, a serial killer dubbed the Bush Man, hasn't forgotten the man who put him in jail. And now he's coming for Sergeant Gabe Caruso....

Gabe is a haunted man, haunted by the murder of his fiancé and his own anger at the Bush Man. Has he lost the idealism necessary to remain a Mountie? Gabe retreats to the wilderness of Black Arrow Falls to bury his pain. Tracker Silver Karvonen captures his interest- and that of the Bush Man. Who will survive when dealing with a MANHUNTER?

Stop what you are doing right now and go pick up this book. Yes, it's THAT good! MANHUNTER is the sort of headlong rush that doesn't stop until the very end. The action in this edge of your seat thriller is both fast and furious, with nary a dull moment. I just couldn't put this book down!

Loreth Anne White pits man against beast both metaphorically and literally. Not only are Gabe and Silver defending against a serial killer, but both have their own inner demons to fight. And let's not forget Broken Claw! Loreth Anne White does a beautiful job at depicting the inner struggles of her characters as she takes readers on a journey that is sometimes dark, definitely chilling, but with that bright rainbow of hope and happiness at the end. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Manhunter (Silhouette Romantic Suspense) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book will keep you reading until the end and the suspense will make you wonder how there can be a HEA. Will Gabe and Silver survive being hunted by a serial killer who is determined to kill them? The killer will kill anyone he needs to in order to kill the person he is really after and he enjoys the hunt and the kill. Loreth made him come alive with her venture into his mind. The depth of the characters make them real and make you feel like you are with them in their race against death. The story kept me awake and reading until I finished it and that was after midnight. I wonder if I'm going to have nightmares? If you enjoy the type of story that keeps you on the edge of your seat read "Manhunter" by Loreth Ann White. I wonder what she will come up with for the next book in the series?

Sergeant Gabe Caruso first met Kurtz Steiger (a psychopathic serial killer the media dubbed Bush Man) when he was stationed in Williams Lake in British Columbia's interior. Kurtz had been hiding out in a Quonset hut on a farm on the outskirts of town. Kurtz had been on the loose for three years after had fled into Canada to escape a US court martial. He had been killing and torturing hunters, campers, hikers and anyone else he came across just for the thrill of it. The mounties had surrounded the Quonset hut where Kurtz had been hiding but he had managed to escape by killing several of them including Gabe's fiance. Kurtz was finally caught and imprisoned and Gabe was sent to Black Arrow Falls where he met Silver Karvonen who was fighting her own devils. Silver was a renown tracker who lived in the area. Kurtz escaped from prison and headed for Black Arrow Falls planning to engage Gabe and Silver in the hunt of their lives and he would kill anyone he needed to in order to win the game he had planned.
