WILD INSTINCT by T. Jefferson Parker


Gale, the main protagonist, is suffering from PTSD and some physical impairments as well.  

Recollections of his time as a sniper in Afghanistan haunt him.  Now an LA County Sheriff’s deputy, he and his new partner, Daniela, are assigned a high-profile murder case.  Subtle resonances of mysticism stem from Gale’s Acjacheme ancestry.

Daniela has secrets too and is struggling to be a successful single Mom.  Together, the two deputies are believable characters.

I was completely unaware of the Acjacheme people and their lack of recognition by both California and Federal authorities.  Once again, the older you get the more you learn that there is so much more to learn.

Parker does a believable plot with some interesting characters.  The story flows smoothly and is unpredictable. 

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
