Bad Luck cover

Zack Walker, the most unlikely of detectives, faces a new mystery to unravel in this brilliantly funny crime thriller from bestselling author Linwood Barclay.

*THIS BOOK WAS PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED IN THE USA UNDER THE TITLE LONE WOLF*

Zack Walker Mystery# 3

Journalist, family man, and paranoid writer Zack Walker visits his father's lakeside fishing camp. But the fresh air, childhood memories and peaceful contemplation are ruined when a body is found.


Locals say the mutilated corpse must have been the victim of a random bear attack. But Zack Walker, as always, fears the worst.

When another body is discovered, it seems there is a more deadly predator on the prowl. A Lone Wolf killer who is hell-bent on laying siege to the idyllic town.

The fuse is lit and time is running out. Zack must face down a madman - or find out first-hand what the grand finale is . . .

The third and most satisfying novel in the series - The Toronto Star

A series that has become incrementally darker and exponentially better. It sets a high water mark not only for Barclay, but also for the mystery genre. - Bookreporter.com

Very funny yet suspenseful . . . an hilarious mystery - Wall Street Journal
