The beautiful Estate Homes of WolfPointe are open for inspection. Thrust into world he had never imagined, Officer Malcolm MacKurghdy must solve a mystery begun nearly a thousand years before! A horrifying chain of events triggers an avalanche of suspense, intrigue and danger. A simple accidental death investigation, supposed to be a construction mishap, propels this first year police officer into a maelstrom of deceit, murder, and an avenging first nation spirit awakened in the wetlands of Illinois. Luxury homes built for the elite Chicago Suburbanites form the backdrop for a heart pounding race against time and death. The friendly, small-town façade is shattered when secrets are learned and the holders of those awful secrets are threatened. Those who discover the truth or wander too far into the swamp must be eliminated. Old crimes rise to the surface like the sheen of an oily, toxic waste dump. For Mac MacKurghdy, when time runs out the killing begins. Old sins rise from the muck; they will be reckoned with! Only one man can see the truth and know what must be done to stop it. For some, that man must be silenced. Winner of the LiFE award (Literature For the Environment), WolfPointe confronts the crimes of our recent past with the legends of ancient times. But the horror of it all comes to life, now! If you demand more mystery, more thrills, from a Mystery/Thriller then WolfPointe delivers. Lies and secrets abound; danger is at every turn. Death takes no holidays at WolfPointe -- These are luxury home to die for!
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The cast turns this intriguing supernatural police procedural into a must read for fans of both genres. The story line mixes everyday rural living with greedy investors and an otherworldly essence into an action-packed tale. Interestingly Mac is a terific character struggling with his who-done-it inquiries that is difficult enough since the evidence seems illogical, but also with his superior yanking him off his investigation for reasons that just fail to make sense to him. Rick Buda is on the environmental side of the development debate, yet any fan of a supernatural tale will appreciate his cautionary thriller. --Harriet Klausner for The Midwest Book Review.
From the Publisher
"WolfPointe" has, within its mystery and murder story, a cry for the exposure and clean up of many hidden toxic dumps sites that still exist. While fiction, the message is clear that we need to live with the land and keep it for future generations just as the Native Americans had centuries ago.
Winner of the LiFE award (Literature for Environment).

A page turner!,
By
This review is from: Wolfpointe (Paperback)
In his debut novel Rick Buda has given us an engaging suspense story with a twist. You quickly become involved with the story and its main character Officer "Mac" MacKurghdy. After a bumpy start the story quickly grabs you and refuses to let you put the book down. Unlike some novels with a supernatural bent, this is quite believable.
I plan to watch for Buda's next novel.

Mystery mixed with macabre,
By M. T. Kingsley (Sacramento, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolfpointe (Paperback)
Rick Buda's first novel details the sinister secrets of a new development - toxic waste, murder, and a mysterious creature all come together with small town politics to create a great murder mystery. The murder investigator would have never imagined that his new case would somehow have ties to an ancient native american curse and local corporate corruption. A compelling story and an enjoyable quick read.
