Hunting the Saturday Night Strangler

by C. M. Wendelboe

Overview

Retired homicide detective Arn Anderson tracks a coldblooded killer in this riveting novel of suspense by the author of Hunting the Five Point Killer.

Two innocent victims, strangled to death on consecutive Saturday nights. Even as they see the pattern emerging, retired detective Arn Anderson and TV reporter Ana Maria Villarreal can't seem to convince the Cheyenne police that the killer may strike again.

Hunting a remorseless murderer leads Arn and Ana Maria down a rabbit hole of ranchers and rustlers. But the closer they come to catching the killer, the more they're met with suspicion. And when their investigation collides with a desperate act of violence, they wonder whether they're unwinding the killer's twisted thread of clues or tightening their own noose.

Editorial Reviews

08/27/2018
Wendelboe effectively combines lurking menace and laid-back charm in his captivating sequel to 2017’s Hunting the Five Point Killer. A group of Wyoming sheep ranchers hire retired Denver homicide detective Arn Anderson, who’s settled in Cheyenne, to nab the Midnight Sheepherder, a pesky rustler who’s been raiding their flocks. The murder of a local girl complicates Arn’s investigation, especially when a blowhard young deputy confuses things by insisting that the victim was part of the Sheepherder’s rustling mob. Arn later figures out that the Sheepherder must have watched the crime from nearby—which means the retired lawman and the sadistic killer are now in a race to find the witness. A couple of appealing friends, elderly jack-of-all-trades Danny Spotted Elk and spunky TV newscaster Ana Maria Villarreal, lend support. Meanwhile, the murderous psychopath is stalking Arn and beginning to think that Ana Maria might be fun to “dance” with. Readers will look forward to Arn’s next outing. (Oct.)
