The Wild Inside

“The most powerful and compelling aspect of the novel is the balancing of criminal investigation and the emotional baggage that burdens the protagonist….The wilderness provides a lush background for this combination of crime and personal redemption, the resolution as nuanced as the death of Victor Lance.” * CurledUp * “If the key to a mystery’s success is keeping the reader guessing, The Wild Inside is a fine example of the genre.” * The Billings Gazette * “Sharp, introspective Systead is a strong series lead, and Carbo rolls out solid procedural details, pitting him against Department of the Interior bureaucrats. The grittiness of the poverty-wracked area surrounding Glacier plays against the park’s dangerous beauty in this dark foray into the wilderness subgenre. Put this one in the hands of those who enjoy Paul Doiron’s Mike Bowditch novels and Julia Keller’s Bell Elkins series.” * Booklist * “As haunting and vivid as the scenery it depicts, The Wild Inside is a masterful portrait of the savagery of nature–both the great untamed outdoors and the human soul. Highly recommended.” – Kira Peikoff, author of DIE AGAIN TOMORROW “Grizzly bears, murder, mauling, and mayhem mix in Carbo’s debut novel. Ted Systead’s past and present intersect in an unexpected-and chilling-manner against the incongruously gorgeous backdrop of Glacier National Park.” * Kirkus Reviews * “Carbo paints a moving picture of complex, flawed people fighting to make their way in a wilderness where little is black or white, except the smoky chiaroscuro of the sweeping Montana sky…. an evocative debut.” * Publishers Weekly * “The brutality and fragility of Glacier National Park’s wilderness provides the perfect backdrop for this well-crafted, absorbing novel about the barbarities and kindnesses of the humans living on its edge. Christine Carbo is a writer to watch.” – Tawni O’Dell, New York Times bestselling author of One of Us “An intense and thoroughly enjoyable thrill ride. Christine Carbo’s literary voice echoes with her love of nature, her knowledge of its brutality, and the wild and beautiful locale of Montana. The Wild Inside is a tour de force of suspense that will leave you breathlessly turning the pages late into the night.” – Linda Castillo, New York Times bestselling author of THE DEAD WILL TELL “Fans of Nevada Barr will love this tense, atmospheric thriller with its majestic Glacier National Park setting. The Wild Inside is a stunning debut!” – Deborah Crombie, New York Times bestselling author of TO DWELL IN DARKNESS “…stays in your mind long after you’ve put the book down. I’m still thinking about it. Prepare to run the gamut of emotions with this fine treat of a story. Then, in the years ahead, be on the lookout for more from this fresh new voice in the thriller genre.” – Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of the Cotton Malone series
