A daughter disappears in the middle of the night. What happens in the aftermath of this tragedy-after the search is abandoned, after the TV crews move on to cover the latest horrific incident-is the story of Coyote. There is a marriage and a detective. There is a storm, a talk show host, and a roasted boar. People are murdered and things are hidden. Coyotes skulk in the woods, a man stands by the fence, and a tale emerges within this familiar landscape of the violent unknown.

Reviews

‘He draws us in with an increasingly unreliable narrator…you can be damn sure that nothing is as it seems’

Raven Crime Reads

‘Coyote is wrenched from the heart-a powerful study of pain, madness, and peace…Coyote is a small miracle’

Charles R. Larson , Counterpunch

‘Nothing better than a short tale with the power to linger – and haunt – long after it’s put back on the shelf. Colin Winnette’s Coyote is one of them’

Holly Smith , Washington Independent Review of Books

‘As the novel speeds toward its shattering conclusion, the reader will be left hungry for a second read in order to put the pieces of the narrator’s haunting tale back together again’

Brigid Ridley , Verse

‘Coyote has a strong and inviting voice and that voice wraps around a dark story, a contemporary story, and one that has its own velocity and fragmentation built in. I found myself swept along in it and impacted by its delicate/bleak movement’

Aimee Bender
