Speed up for the crime-solving, slow down for the Zen.” —Julia Rubin, Associated Press “The Guide is a literary work and a paean to fishing, as inspiring as A River Runs Through It… Poetic… Engaging… The Guide is a beautifully written book, a tribute to Colorado, its bounty and its ability to heal the soul.” —Sandra Dallas, Denver Post "Stunning... Stunning descriptions... Precise and evocative... The Guide is an excellent book, one to sink into and enjoy in one sitting, if you can. Readers will be transported, and find themselves just as wrapped in the mystery as Jack himself.” —Fiona Cook, Mystery and Suspense Guide "A devastating indictment of the lengths to which people of extraordinary means will go to protect themselves... The simple, sensorial beauty of Heller’s writing about the natural world... is the true soul of the book." —Lisa Henricksson, AirMail "Mr. Heller’s descriptions of nature and fishing are Hemingwayesque, and he’s also good at writing about people—their passions, impulses and ethical boundaries." —Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal “Peter Heller’s thrillers unfurl like campfire yarns… The scenery cascades in long, panoramic passages, whereas the human characters are rendered in quick glances.” —Pete Tosiello, New York Times Book Review "An ever so subtly dystopian wilderness noir that speculates on the horrors of a post-pandemic society... The enticing mystery keeps the pages turning, but not too quickly. The Guide is too beautifully written to speed through it, the descriptions of nature lush and vivid." —USA Today
