California Wolves

Arlo Patches is a bigfoot private investigator living in the Northern California community of Sarsaparilla Springs. His brother is the town sheriff. When a well-known environmentalist goes missing in the surrounding woods, he's hired to find her. Talk in the area is that the government is looking to reintroduce wolves into the county, and the woman's disappearance may be connected.

As he begins to investigate, along with the help of a few Florida skunk apes, Arlo finds himself caught up in a brewing confrontation between animal lovers and local ranchers who see the wolves as a threat to their livelihood. He suspects outside forces are actually manipulating both sides, and unless he can uncover their motives, the woods may soon be filled with sounds of bloody combat.

Writer Michael Panush weaves a truly original adventure in which fantasy and reality merge to the delight of pulp readers.
