The Alpha of Purgatory is an historical fiction novel about a murder plot to sabotage the planned reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park, almost seventy-years after the controversial animals were removed from the land as a targeted waste species. Set in 1990's Wyoming, this wilderness suspense thriller tells the story of Jain Remus, a strong-willed and determined animal rights advocate and conservationist who's on a mission to restore an endangered species' legacy in North America. But not everyone is happy about the wolves imminent return. One year after releasing a pack of wild, Canadian gray wolves into a remote valley in an attempt to re-populate the local ecosystem, the radio tracked animals disappear, pulling Jain into the deep wilderness on a fact finding mission determined to figure out the truth about the missing animals. Waiting in the shadows are two men who've been paid to make sure that she doesn't come back. Minding his own business is Henry Sanyasi, a man living off the grid in the Purgatory Valley and traveling with a pack of orphaned wolf puppies. When he inadvertently happens upon an assault in progress, Henry saves Jain from certain death and agrees to escort her safely back to the program's summer headquarters at Tanner's Crossing, a hike that will take nearly a week! Who is this mysterious guardian angel that lives out in the middle of nowhere and what does he know about the program's missing wolves? Is he involved in the plot to remove Jain Remus from the reintroduction program, or is he just the innocent passerby that he claims to be? And if he isn't involved, then who wants Jain dead and why? Is there anyone else waiting in ambush on the trail between field camp on the Autarky River and Tanner's Crossing, or will a stranger's tenuous cooperation be enough to keep Jain safe and prevent an endangered species from being eradicated from the ecosystem for a second time? Man vs nature vs man will never be more personal as death, sacrifice and betrayal decides who will become the Alpha of the Purgatory.
