The Wild Inside

The Wild Inside by Christine Carbo is a mystery in which the detective learns as much about himself as the case.

Ted Systead is a special agent with the National Parks system. He is a detective that comes in to help out when the local rangers need it.

It has been twenty years since he has set foot in Glacier National Park. As the age of fourteen, Ted was camping when they were attached by a grizzly. His father a killed.

Now a case that looks like a bear attach has his back at Glacier. Not only will he need to solve the case of who tied a man to a tree where he was eaten by a bear, but deal with the memories of his childhood trauma.

Carbo has written a psychological thriller for the main character, embedded into a mystery in a beautiful setting. It is as much a story of man against nature as it is a mystery. This is the first book in her Glacier Mystery series.
