Overview

Seven years ago, Stoney Calhoun woke up in a VA hospital with no memories and a series of unexplained talents (language ability, weapons expertise, etc.). Since then he’s been living quietly, working as a part time fishing guide and co-owner of a local bait shop—with an unnamed visitor coming around occasionally to see if he’s regained any memories.

But this time, the visitor shows up looking for his help—and creating potential mayhem in Stoney’s life to prove he’s serious. In exchange for making those problems go away, Stoney must go to the far corner of Maine, sign on as a guide at a high end fishing lodge, and look into a couple of suspicious deaths. ...

Overview

Seven years ago, Stoney Calhoun woke up in a VA hospital with no memories and a series of unexplained talents (language ability, weapons expertise, etc.). Since then he’s been living quietly, working as a part time fishing guide and co-owner of a local bait shop—with an unnamed visitor coming around occasionally to see if he’s regained any memories.

But this time, the visitor shows up looking for his help—and creating potential mayhem in Stoney’s life to prove he’s serious. In exchange for making those problems go away, Stoney must go to the far corner of Maine, sign on as a guide at a high end fishing lodge, and look into a couple of suspicious deaths. A govern ment ‘operative’ was found shot dead in a staged murder/suicide pact involving a local sixteen year old girl. Now Stoney has to uncover what the dead agent was investigating and got him killed—without being killed by the very same people.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Stoney Calhoun goes undercover in Tapply's diverting third mystery to feature the Portland, Maine, bait shop owner who lost his memory in a lightning strike years before (after 2007's Gray Ghost). Despite this tragedy, Stoney retains the skills that make him valuable to the local police as a volunteer deputy as well as to “the Man in the Suit,” who works for a government agency and periodically shows up to ask Stoney's help. Stoney's latest job for his mysterious employer takes him to an exclusive resort in far northern Maine as a fishing guide to unobtrusively investigate the murder of a federal agent named McNulty and the 16-year-old girl who was with McNulty. Stoney's technique of making anyone with a secret uncomfortable enough to give him or herself away leads to more murders among the small group of resort staff and owners. Sadly, Tapply died July 28, 2009, but fans can expect one more book in his long-running Brady Coyne series (Hell Bent, etc.). (Oct.)
Kirkus Reviews
After years of establishing and protecting amnesiac Stonewall Jackson Calhoun's identity as co-owner of a Maine tackle shop, federal agents return to make him an offer he can't refuse. Kate Balaban, Stoney's partner in business and love, is about to lose the lease on Kate's Bait and Tackle, and her MS-stricken husband Walter is about to be turned out of his nursing home-unless Calhoun, who was clearly trained as a federal operative before he lost his memory (Gray Ghost, 2007, etc.), takes a month off to do an unspecified favor for an unspecified government agency. Under cover of working as a fishing guide at upscale Loon Lake Lodge, Calhoun will ask discreet questions about the shooting of a federal agent named McNulty and his companion, 16-year-old townie Millie Gautier, which looked like a murder-suicide until the state medical examiner discovered that they'd died before they were shot. Don't arouse suspicion, his contact, The Man in the Suit, tells him. Don't blow your cover. Don't breathe a word about what you're doing to anyone, including Kate. And don't even think about failing. The most immediate results of Calhoun's sub rosa investigation are two more violent deaths, and his diagnosis that the case involves "too many dead bodies and not enough clues" is all too accurate. Eventually his questions precipitate a crisis, and he can then return home to find out whether Kate forgives him for abandoning her in total secrecy. More nourishment for Field & Stream readers than for mystery fans.

    William Tapply a comfortably entertaining writer.

    This author's plots are tightly woven but not so complicated that you have trouble keeping track of things; his characters are strong and easy to relate to. This is my first Stoney Calhoun novel and I now think I will go back and read the others. For many years I have enjoyed the Brady Coyne character and also this author's co-authoring efforts with Phillip Craig. I mourn Mr. Craigs passing and the fact that there will be no further collaborations of this kind. I look forward to this author's next offering, whichever character he chooses to write about.

    Left us Wanting More

    "Dark Tiger" is William Tapply's latest installment in the Stoney Calhoun series and unfortunately, will be one of his last due to Mr. Tapply's recent passing. Stoney is trying to live his life out peacefully as a co-owner of a bait and tackle shop just outside Portland, Maine. He has no recollection of his former life since waking up in a VA hospital seven years prior. He is often visited by the "Man in the Suit" who checks to see if Stoney has regained any of his memories and also has "jobs" for him to complete. If Stoney does not comply, the mysterious government official threatens to make life difficult. In Dark Tiger, Stoney is asked to solve the murder of a federal agent and a local girl at a remote fishing resort in upper Maine. Along with his sidekick Ralph, his faithful Brittany Spaniel, Stoney takes on the role of a fishing guide and searches for the answers to the mysterious deaths. Tapply's vast knowledge of fly-fishing and the Maine wilderness inspires the outdoor adventurer in us all but with a limited number of characters; the ending was not very surprising or revealing and left us wanting for more mystery and less details of the fishing trips.

    Tapply Never Disappoints

    True to his own writing William Tapply has never disappointed me. Whether it is Stoney Calhoun or the beloved Brady Coyne, Mr. Tapply was always true to the character and storyline. He also co-wrote with Phillip Craig. Now within less than 18 months we have lost both authors. The readers will miss both authors.

    Tapply takes Stoney from the Maine bait shop to the dark side of his personality that he has no recollection - his past. His past was FBI or CIA and although he has no recollection of this past he knows he must help the secretive men that contact him from time to time. This case weaves Tapply's love for the outdoors and fishing into the latest mystery. The story is complicated, yet simple. There is murder, suicide, and complex characters that will unravel through the investigation. A couple of twists that are easy to follow. Sit back and enjoy as there will be no more from this very talented man. Rest in Peace as I will go back and read again your two series along with the three books published with Phillip Craig.

    a super whodunit

    Several years have gone by since Stoney Calhoun awakened in a Virginia VA hospital with total amnesia. He opened up a Portland, Maine bait shop owner with Kate Balaban and is a fishing guide and does occasional work for the cops and for "the Man in the Suit" who shows up periodically with an assignment that Stoney has the skills to accomplice. Although his memory remains erased from before the awakening Stoney still has the skills with weapons for instance before he went comatose.

    The Suit offers Stoney a deal he cannot refuse. Instead of the usual tidbits about the past, he says he will insure they keep the bait shop potentially being sold to another buyer and keep Kate's loved one covered by health insurance being challenged. Not even knowing the case Stoney agrees to the terms because he would do anything for Kate.

    The Suit arranges for a Mr. Brecia to meet with Stoney. Mr. Brecia directs Stoney to investigate the deaths of operative McNulty and the underage teen townie Millie Gautier in what looked like a murder-suicide at St. Cecilia on the Canadian border. Mr. Brecia wants Stoney to find out what their agent was doing there with a sixteen year old. He suggests going undercover at the nearby exclusive Loon Lake Lodge as that is the only place in the vicinity of any known significance.

    The third Stonewall Jackson Calhoun tale (see B**CH CREEK and GRAY GHOST) is a super whodunit with obvious overtones to Ludlam's Bourne, but with the late William Tapply's distinct New England take. The story line is fast-paced starting with the Suit showing what he can do to insure Stoney cooperates and never slows down. Fans will enjoy the hero's activity in northern Maine as his in dubiously presence increases the homicide count considerably. DARK TIGER pay homage to Mr. Tapply who died in late July.
