Just love Frank & all his mad ideas. It is great that his daughter Nicole & his strange buddy Jake is back. Can they find the killer before it is too late and more people die. It seems strange but the falcons really work in all of Andy's books as it adds more depth to the story. Can't wait to read the next one as I am always entertained by the stories

The death of a fellow falconer drags Frank into a maze of officious Government agents, White Supremists, terrorists, and dealers. A recurring theme is "Be careful who you trust,". and it is good advice The writing is clear and descriptive. All the regular characters are on display, and Frank's daughter, Nicole, plays a growing role in the investigation and resolution of the crimes. It is a great and engrossing read..

P.I. Frank Pavlicek does not believe that his friend, Chester Carew was killed in a hunting accident. When Frank goes to the scene of the crime he is hit with a rifle. Frank is told that Chester went to the local want-to-be terrorist group meetings. Frank thinks that is very strange of Chester. Why did Chester go to those meetings? As Frank looks into the killing of Chester, he is warned by the local police and FBI to keep his nose out of it. Will Frank stop?

Straka has written a suspenseful mystery. It is action packed with twists and turns. This is the second novel I've read of the author's P.I. mysteries. I am a fan! A Cold Quarry is excellent!

Mystery and suspense with a touch of conspiracy drew me in from the start, and the fragments of falconry lore added even more interest to the characters. The West Virginian setting makes it feel more real and less like a conspiracy thriller TV show.

I'm glad I've got the next one already queued up - this is one series I'll be following!

White supremacists, corrupt cops, dead bodies, lots of red herrings, in short there is a lot to like about this book. As I read it after "A Night Falconer", this book filled in the missing parts of the on-going Pavlicek story. Fairly quick read and should appeal to readers who like Vicki Delany and others.

This book starts with a man hunting with his falcon, Elo. He gets murdered and his falcon disappears. His friends decide to solve his murder, but as they try, the plot gets a lot more complicated and involves a lot more people, some good, and some evil. The story was well written and the charactersa well developed. There was enough action to keep you quickly turning pages to the end.

A multi-faceted story which was a real challenge to solve. I liked the father -daughter link, made the story more believable. Some really good characters, well described and relevant to the story. I like it when the stories unravel quickly towards to end, leads to a great climax. Thoroughly enjoyable read.
