Overview

Reviews

"Bursting with vigor and electrified characters and with an ending the author stamps with a knowing wink." - Kirkus Reviews

"Douglas Perry's edgy debut novel MAMMOTH is as taut, moody and full of characters as his nonfiction tales. Perry ignites our nerves and then feeds the unease until the very last page." - Julia Heaberlin, author of Black-Eyed Susans

"Mammoth is a gripping thriller built on conundrums -- and not necessarily the 'whodunit?' kind. The puzzles it presents are the ones we face every day. Why do people do what they do? What makes us who we are? Why do bad things happen? Fittingly for its title, Mammoth is that rare crime novel that takes on the biggest mysteries of them all." - Steve Hockensmith, Edgar Award finalist for Holmes on the Range
