About this listen
A gripping high-stakes thriller by three-time Edgar Award winner and New York Times bestselling author T. Jefferson Parker.
"A marvel...hits the high-water mark for crime fiction every time out." — Gregg Hurwitz
"[Narrator John Pirhalla's] deliberately stoic narration is neither flashy nor overly exaggerated, which is perfect for [author T. Jefferson] Parker's suspenseful thriller. Pirhalla's performance takes listeners on an intense ride." — Kirkus
The hunt for the truth is the deadliest game.
Former Marine sniper Lew Gale, now a detective with the Orange County California Sheriff’s Department, is assigned to track and shoot a mountain lion that has killed a man in the rugged country east of Laguna Beach, California. The victim is Bennet Tarlow, a rich developer and man-about-town in upscale coastal Orange County.
The investigation takes a chilling turn when Lew and his new partner, Daniela Mendez, discover that Bennet was dead long before the lion got to him. And while he might have been the first to die, he certainly will not be the last.

Critic reviews
"Parker is no slouch at plotting, but he particularly excels at creating flawed but sympathetic characters who are doing their best in a complex world. Gale and Mendez each have complicated lives but strive for justice even so." —Library Journal (starred review)
"With effective surprises, memorable characters, and simmering SoCal atmosphere, this goes down smooth." —Publishers Weekly
"The novel is a potent mixture of plot and character...it’s a gift to his many fans. Expect high demand for this title." —Booklist
"Outstanding in every respect, one hopes Wild Instinct is the first of many investigations for this engaging detective duo." —LA Times
