A riveting, sexy, well-thought out suspense story.

Mr. Slusher paints a vivid picture in this gripping tale of passion and intrigue. The characters actually seemed to live and breathe- I felt as though I knew them personally. The story was fresh and kept me riveted...I was unable to put it down until I had finished! I anxiously await other novels from this Author.

The first time I read this book I feel in love with sheriff Cody and the way he carried himself. I on the other hand was very jealous of Lucia because she was smooth and very sauve at the same time,What made me fall in love with the story even more was the love that finally put those to together was none other than there grandpa Ivy Joe Culpepper.
Great book. Can't wait for the movie!

This book was a page turner. It's a talented writer that can manipulate a reader into caring about his characters even when they say and do offensive things. Just when I felt insulted by some of the racial and sexual language, Slusher would turn around and make me pardon the offender. His graphic depiction of Hunter transported me back to the town of my youth in Mississippi. I guess small towns are the same everywhere. The relationship between Lewis and Lucia was, in a word, fabulous! I ordered the sequal before finishing this book. Big mistake. I was so disappointed that his relationship with Lucia had ended that I lost interest in the second installment all together - but then, I guess that's another review.
One book that tells it like it is.

Slusher is fabulous! He doesn't pull any punches with his writing style. His read is witty, sexy, full of suspense and down to earth. I read about 4 to 6 novels a month and this book was one of the best I have read. Very entertaining!!!
Shepherd of the Wolves is a chilling first novel.

William S. Slusher's first mystery will grab you by the throat on Page One. I'm not sure when it lets you go. Sheriff Cody Lewis' affection for his Southwest Virginia county, rendered with a sure touch by Slusher, is his most endearing trait. He is surrounded by colorful characters, and finds himself in the midst of more than one complicated mystery. To say Slusher's style is gritty is putting it mildly. To say his story stays with you is an understatement.. A remarkable debut.
