English professor, poet, and pro­fessional house sitter Lee Squires is swamped in a sea of student composi­tions when she receives a call for help from childhood friends in Montana. Happy to leave her students and Wash­ington, D.C., Lee travels out to the Eastern Front of the Rockies to spend her Easter break as temporary cook for the J-E dude ranch.

The ranch and related cattle opera­tions are managed by Dave and Trudy Fife, while Dave's brother, Mac, runs the Sacred Paw Institute—dedicated to saving the grizzly and its habitat in Montana. The ranch is in severe finan­cial distress, though, and the Fifes are hoping for an infusion of capital from a group of Japanese businessmen inter­ested in investing in the American West. Lee's challenge is to meet the quirky culinary needs of these impor­tant guests, but she is shaken up when she discovers a body with the head, hands, feet, and genitals missing. Although the killing occurred some time before Lee's arrival, her suspicions are aroused, and when another body turns up, Lee's investigative talents shift into high gear.

"Christine Andreae writes about Montana's wilderness with grace and sensitivity of a poet.Grizzly blends mystery with ecology, then wrenches us with the dwindling of Earth's less-cuddly species—both ursine and human."—Margaret Maron, Edgar Award-Winning Author of Southern Discomfort
