Luke McCain Mysteries

As a Fish and Wildlife police officer, Luke McCain and his partner - a yellow Lab named Jack - spend their days patrolling the rivers, lakes, and forests of the wild and scenic Cascade Mountains in Eastern Washington. After hunters discover human remains inside a bear's stomach, McCain is thrust into the investigation. As more dead women are found in McCain's region, authorities suspect a serial killer is prowling the mountains he knows best. McCain will need his knowledge as an outdoorsman, and his instincts as an investigator, to track the psychopathic predator.

After helping solve the Cascade Killer case, Washington State Fish and Wildlife officer Luke McCain thinks life will return to normal: hunting with his Labrador named Jack, policing Eastern Washington's wilderness, and spending time with his girlfriend, FBI agent Sara Sinclair. But when dead bodies are discovered in illegal marijuana fields hidden in the Cascade Mountains, McCain and Jack are thrust into a new investigation.

With two major investigations now closed, Fish and Wildlife Police Officer Luke McCain is called upon for his most high-profile case yet. En route to the Washington State Fair, an exotic cat show’s trailer is stolen. After some of the big cats are released into the Cascade Mountains, McCain and his dog, Jack, try to locate the show’s most menacing member: a Bengal tiger. Meanwhile, there are rumblings that a wild cougar has killed a dirt biker in the region.

Luke's week in the mountains goes from pleasure to business in an instant when he is called upon to help find two teenage boys–one the son of a multi-millionaire Starbucks VIP–who have been abducted at gunpoint during a wilderness survival school expedition. Their captors and the foreigners calling the shots behind the scenes are desperate for their ransom money and willing to do almost anything to get it.

After continuous complaints that a poaching ring is running rampant in Northeastern Washington, Fish and Wildlife police officer Luke McCain is assigned to go undercover to infiltrate the gang. Just as Luke and his fellow officers move to finally catch the poachers red-handed, one of the crooks flees into the mountains and Luke has to hunt him down. Days later, a serial killer suspected of killing dozens of women around the Northwest escapes from custody when a Department of Corrections van crashes in the rugged North Cascades.

When WDFW officials receive an anonymous tip that poachers might be taking young falcons and eagles from nests around eastern Washington and shipping them to a Russian oligarch, Washington State fish and wildlife officer Luke McCain and his colleagues must go to new heights to save the federally protected raptors. Meanwhile, domestic animals are going missing in the region, and Luke investigates the gruesome remains. As details of the animals’ mysterious deaths emerge, rumors explode that a mystical creature—the ever-elusive bigfoot—may be responsible.
