""Suspenseful....Henderson's evident passion for and expertise in animal science enlivens the clever mystery plot."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Compelling, captivating, and compulsively page-turning. Alice Henderson is a master at drawing the reader into the rugged terrain where wildlife biologist Alex Carter finds the endangered jaguar isn't the only one in the crosshairs. With a ripped from the headlines plot, The Vanishing Kind is environmental suspense at its finest."" -- James L'Etoile, award-winning author of Face of Greed and River of Lies ""Intrepid wildlife biologist Alex Carter is back....This on-the-page, ass-kicking heroine is just as cool as the real-life endangered species expert and author who writes her...and I remain a huge fan of both. Recommended for fans of page-turning thrillers infused with facts about some of the world's most elusive and fascinating animals."" -- Sara DiVello, author of Broadway Butterfly and founder/host of Mystery and Thriller Mavens ""Alice Henderson does not disappoint action-seeking readers....A rip-roaring, satisfying yarn."" -- BookTrib ""Read The Vanishing Kind, and enjoy it for the plot, the characters and the wonderful writing. Share it because of its importance and the environmental message it carries."" -- Bookreporter.com ""Henderson once again delivers a vivid, visceral reading experience. A pulse-pounding mix of ecological suspense, timely social commentary, and razor-sharp survival instincts."" -- Suspense Magazine ""Henderson neatly integrates a master class on forests, caribou, and other endangered animals into Alex's suspenseful search for caribou--and for a killer. Alex, who thrives on the outdoors and solitude, makes a formidable heroine, while the breathtaking scenery illustrates why a person would want to be one with nature. Environmental crime fiction doesn't get much better than this."" -- Publishers Weekly on A Ghost of Caribou ""Readers who enjoy a well-paced, suspenseful thriller will give this book a thumbs up, but A Ghost of Caribou is more than that...As much as we care about Alex's fate at the hands of a killer, we also care about the animal that brought her to the mountains in the first place. There's real passion here, and that gives the novel added substance."" -- Booklist ""[A] superb thriller of heart-pounding suspense set amid the rugged beauty and majestic wildlife of the Pacific Northwest."" -- Dirk Cussler, New York Times bestselling author on A Ghost of Caribou ""A Solitude of Wolverines by Alice Henderson is a thriller with a heart, a riveting story of conspiracy, murder, and wilderness survival that will keep you turning the pages. Vivid characters, a pulse-pounding plot, a fascinating wildlife-conservation background, and beautifully realized settings make this an exceptional read. This is the first book in a series about wildlife biologist Alex Carter; I can't wait for the next one."" -- Douglas Preston, bestselling coauthor of Relic and Crooked River ""What a treat! Alice Henderson has delivered a treasure of a novel--and, to readers' delight, a promise of more where this came from. Her depiction of the natural world in all its beauty and terror is spot-on. Into this she weaves a cast of characters both original and fascinating, as well as a heroine who does the unbelievable, yet one can believe it. A great read!"" -- Nevada Barr, New York Times bestselling author on A Solitude of Wolverines ""A true stunner of a thriller debut...It's so fraught with excitement and wondrous details that it demands to be read in one sitting and savored afterward. Don't miss it."" -- James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author on A Solitude of Wolverines ""With a plot and character arc that leap from the frying pan into the fire, A Solitude of Wolverines sizzles with action, dripping with the kind of characters and environs that make for a long-lasting series in which readers can really sink their teeth."" -- Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire series

Author Information

In addition to being a writer, Alice Henderson is a sanctuary monitor for the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust, where she checks remote cameras, does mapping, and undertakes wildlife surveys to determine what species are present, and ensures there are no signs of poaching. She's surveyed for the presence of grizzlies, wolves, wolverines, jaguars, endangered bats, and more. These experiences in remote corners of wilderness inspired her to create the Alex Carter mystery series.
