That Dog Won't Hunt (Rapid Reads)
That Dog Won’t Hunt begins in the Mojave Desert, where Rick Cooper, a cowboy drifter on the run, meets a Canadian widow, who offers him seasonal work at her Ontario hunting lodge. Cooper is a thoroughly unlikable narrator, but readers comfortable with antiheroes may find his unabashed opportunism intriguing, and the grisly conclusion to this tense thriller brings a satisfying comeuppance. --Gillian Engberg
