Set on the Minnesota prairies in 1987, during a drought season that is fostering the demise of the family farms, the story features two intertwining narrators: a father searching for answers after his son commits a heinous murder, and a pastor's wife who has returned to the town for mysterious reasons of her own. A penetrating look at small-town America, reminiscent of Russell Banks' Sweet Hereafter or Affliction, driven by a powerful murder mystery, Little Wolves is a literary triumph.

Bernal Fitzhugh hade många strängar på sin lyra. Han var inte bara skeppsläkare hos amiral Sir Francis Drake utan även spion för drottning Elizabeth av England. Något som ledde honom från Oxfords stilla kloster till det rullande däcket på ett piratskepp, från plundringen av Cartagena till den spanska inkvisitionens fängelsehålor. Bernal Fitzhugh var en äventyrare och ett råskinn, men även en skicklig läkare och en sökare på jakt efter kärleken. Frank G. Slaughter (1908-2001) var en amerikansk författare vars böcker har sålt i cirka 60 miljoner exemplar över hela världen.
