The Nick Tanner Mysteries Money Bear (2021) Canned Hunt (2022) Cold-Blooded Trade (2023) News and Reviews... For Money Bear “Vivid characters, a compelling storyline in a unique setting, and razor-sharp writing. What more could you ask for? I’m already looking forward to the next Nick Tanner novel.” – Robert Cochran, Two-time Emmy award-winner as Co-creator, Executive Producer, and writer of 24. “Money Bear snaps you up like a bear trap, and holds you in its steely jaw until the last page. A fast-paced story that delights with authenticity and wit, even as it exposes the evils of wildlife trafficking. A brilliant first novel in what promises to be a must-read series.” – Kay Foster, Writer/Executive Producer on Heroes, The Following, and American Odyssey. “An impressively complex, eco-conscious crime story with plenty of action and intrigue. Cox shows an uncanny talent for characterization…and effectively keeps up the story’s momentum as it speeds to a rousing conclusion.” – Kirkus Reviews For Canned Hunt “Canned Hunt is a riveting and engrossing book from start to finish. Fueled by great characters, a thrilling and unexpected ending, and one very memorable bobcat, this is a story you will not willingly set down.”—S. A. Lelchuk “Canned Hunt is a gem of a thriller with sharply drawn characters, crackling dialogue, and a plot that moves like a raging river. Kerry K. Cox knows how to build suspense, and he imbues his protagonist, Nick Tanner, with a rugged integrity that will draw you in and keep you engaged until the very last scene.” — Harry Dolan, author of The Good Killer “Cox delivers on all fronts. The intriguing and original plot unfolds at a brisk pace…a fascinating journey into a little-known world. A thrilling, suspenseful plot you genuinely can’t predict. Highly recommended.” — Readers’ Favorite Reviews For Cold-Blooded Trade “Cox does a stellar job at penning intriguing characters that readers will connect to. Tanner leaps off the page, a doting father and a proud pet owner with a job that brings excitement at every turn. That pet is a highlight—a blind bobcat named Ray (as in Charles)—as is Tanner’s unique beat, which gives Cox the chance to plot out a thriller that mixes a smart procedural with The Crocodile Hunter.” — Booklife Reviews “Cox has written a rousing thriller starring the intrepid and engaging USFWS Special Agent, Nick Tanner. The story is full of unexpected turns and exhilarating action scenes and delivers a satisfying ending. A fun, action-packed, and exciting crime tale.” — Kirkus Reviews “Kerry K. Cox knows how to pace a thriller, and this next adventure with the unorthodox, sharp-witted, and enigmatic Nick Tanner leaves no room for boredom with its many twists and turns… ramping up the tension as danger lurks from every angle….dangerous and tense…a unique premise and a highly engaging central hero.” — Readers’ Favorite Reviews |
