A Cold Quarry (Frank Pavlicek Series #3)

The third novel in the thrilling Shamus Award-winning, Agatha & Anthony Award nominated series.

An expert falconer is shot in the back in the wilds of West Virginia. The police believe he was the victim of a hunting accident but PI Frank Pavlicek, a falconer himself, isn't buying the story. Beatings, bombings, warnings from the FBI, and the arrest of his best friend on trumped-up charges only strengthen Pavlicek's resolve to follow a bloody trail of lies and corpses that leads to a chilling, terrorist conspiracy.

Michael Connelly says:
"Highly recommended. I dare you to tell me I'm wrong"

Jeffery Deaver says:
"Frank Pavlicek is a breath of fresh air in the field of private eye fiction. Witty, sharp, and flesh-and-blood real"

Steve Hamilton says:
"There's more pure suspense in this book than anything else I've read this year..."

Rick Riordan says:
"Straka's storytelling is as strong as talons, and once he's got you in his grip, he never let's go."
