The Wolf Whispered Death

Description for THE WOLF WHISPERED DEATH by Barbara Moore:

FOUR-FOOTED MURDER

The New Mexican rancher had been brutally murdered. The huge tracks around the body were the best clues local police had. But what had made them--a huge feral dog, a wolf, or as nearby Indians believed, a white werewolf?

Dr. Gordon Christy, full-time veterinarian and part-time sleuth, was far from his Vail, Colorado, practice. Investigating the crime to help out a friend, Christy and his Doberman, Gala, would follow the trail of a mysterious animal into the sere, majestic territory of the modern Navajo ... deep into greed, passion, and ancient tribal superstition ... where Christy himself could become prey--to the deadliest animal of all.

This is #2 in A Gordon Christy, DVM Mystery.
