"Sergeant David Wolf has put his Special Forces days long behind him, settling down as a cop in the small ski resort town of Rocky Points, Colorado. He's a good cop who's seen bad days before, but none quite like this. As if narrowly escaping an attempt on his life, his addict ex-wife being back in the picture, and complications to his all-but-certain appointment to Sheriff weren't enough, he's just received word that his traveling blogger brother has committed suicide in the Alps of Italy. Devastation and resentment over his only sibling's selfish act quickly gives way to a nagging suspicion that he isn't getting the whole truth. Conviction of his brother's character is enough to pull Wolf from his pressing situation at home to the entirely foreign land of Northern Italy -- into a more dangerous and volatile turn of events than he could have possibly imagined. With the help of a beautiful young officer of the Caribinieri, Wolf must piece together what happened on that last fateful night of his brother's life without ruffling too many feathers, or paying the ultimate price. A gritty tale of international mystery, Foreign Deceit is a cerebral, visceral and emotional ride that will keep you guessing until the final pages"--Back cover.… (mais)

Sergeant David Wolf, ex-Army Ranger, is a deputy in the town of Rocky Points, part of the Sluice County Sheriff’s Department in Colorado. Wolf is waiting for a date in the near future to learn if his career aspiration of becoming the next sheriff of Rocky Points will come true to follow in his father’s footsteps. The choice is between Sergeant Derek Connell and Wolf. The decision will be made by the vote of Sluice County officials with the council chaired by Gary Connell, Derek’s father. Wolf and fellow deputies have begun to investigate the death of a local teenager. However, Wolf needs to leave for Milan, Italy to bring home the remains of his younger brother, John. It’s a long flight but it won’t be long enough to process the news of death by suicide.

I enjoyed the opening book and introduction to the author’s writing. Two ubiquitous character portrayals brought this reader’s but did not deter my interest that was heightened by Wolf’s week in Italy. Description of the settings both in Colorado and Italy enhanced the reading experience. Curiosity for Wolf’s steps forward will lead me to continue reading the series. ( )

A great whodunnit!

I love crime mysteries, especially if they are well-written. Jeff Carson does a masterful job at weaving together several storylines without giving away too much about the ending.

From the deep woods of Sluice County, Colorado to the busy piazzas of Lake Como, Italy, David Wolf seeks to find the answer to his brothers death.

I could smell the pines and thunderstorms of Colorado. I savoured the tastes of Italian pasta and grappa. And in between, I held my breath through scene after scene of the evolving evil that was behind David's brothers death.

I will be reading more of Jeff Carson! ( )
