A daughter disappears in the middle of the night. What happens in the aftermath of this tragedy-after the search is abandoned, after the TV crews move on to cover the latest horrific incident-is the story of Coyote. There is a marriage and a detective. There is a storm, a talk show host, and a roasted boar. People are murdered and things are hidden. Coyotes skulk in the woods, a man stands by the fence, and a tale emerges within this familiar landscape of the violent unknown.
Trade ReviewCoyote is wrenched from the heart-a powerful study of pain, madness, and peace...Coyote is a small miracle -- Charles R. Larson * Counterpunch *
Nothing better than a short tale with the power to linger - and haunt - long after it's put back on the shelf. Colin Winnette's Coyote is one of them -- Holly Smith * Washington Independent Review of Books *
As the novel speeds toward its shattering conclusion, the reader will be left hungry for a second read in order to put the pieces of the narrator's haunting tale back together again -- Brigid Ridley * Verse *
Coyote has a strong and inviting voice and that voice wraps around a dark story, a contemporary story, and one that has its own velocity and fragmentation built in. I found myself swept along in it and impacted by its delicate/bleak movement -- Aimee Bender
He draws us in with an increasingly unreliable narrator...you can be damn sure that nothing is as it seems * Raven Crime Reads *
