Description

******NEW EDITION TO RELEASE ON JUNE 1!***********

Is your fly fishing guide willing to die for you?

Stony lives for fly fishing in the wilderness. It literally saved his life. After Stony massacred an entire village in Vietnam, addiction and PTSD almost killed him. Alaska, fly fishing, and a woman and her wolves brought him back from the brink. He made a vow to her on her deathbed to always help people, and to never kill another man.

Now he has a new lover, and is finally clean. So when he takes a seemingly ideal client deep into the wilderness of Rocky Mountain National Park, he never dreams that his most sacred vow will be tested to the breaking point. He will have to save his client from a serial killer, a murderer so devious he has managed to become a respected doctor—and his client’s partner.

It’s taken Stony thirty years to disentangle himself from psychological hell. Now, hampered by all the dangers high altitude wilderness can throw at him, Stony must risk sinking into mental hell forever by killing an evil doctor—or risk losing not only his client, but his new soul mate.

Advance Praise

“The exposure of Stony’s deep physical and deeper mental scars greatly moved me. Dr. Mays allows us to take some steps in Stony’s shoes and better understand those who need our help.”

“I could not put it down once I started reading. Think it would make a great
movie...congratulations Milt, I hope your book is successful and you continue to write more like it.”

“The suspense was really good and kept me wanting to read more. What a great story. The medical training Milt has shows in his writing of this story. With each book he writes, his writing improves. He is an artist painting a picture with his words. Looking forward to the next book Milt! This is my favorite so far.” “You can always tell when you've read a good book because you miss the characters when it's done. You want to know what happens to them next. And so it is with Milt Mays newest book, ‘The Guide.’”

“It is a quick and thrilling read that was hard to put down.”

“This thriller, which largely takes place in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, has a lot going for it, starting with the setting. The author does a good job of giving a feel for the mountains, their rugged beauty, and the business and culture of guides like the protagonist Stony who can be hired for their expertise and local knowledge. The main plot took a tried and true idea, a psychopath who rationalizes his evil deeds as ‘for the greater good,’ appointing himself both judge and executioner in the process. But how this is done is a unique twist on the basic premise.”
