R.J. Norgard

Author of the Sidney Reed Mystery Series

  "In this accomplished novel [Trophy Kill], Norgard brings his own experience as a local-newspaper reporter and a private investigator to bear on a mystery that he imbues with a palpable sense of place . . . An offbeat mystery story that builds a strong stage for future whodunits." - Kirkus Reviews

  "Norgard does a solid job of making genre conventions feel fresh. A sympathetic lead and nuanced characterizations bode well for future series entries." - BookLife

  "[Trophy Kill] is classic, old-school detective fiction. A beautiful woman. Murder and mystery. Lots of booze and hangovers. Wonderful descriptions of the Alaskan countryside and weather and an array of fascinating people who populate this wilderness. It's a page-turner . . ." - Pudding Magazine
