"Erin Lindsey's third historical mystery The Silver Shooter follows Rose Gallagher as she tracks a monster and searches for treasure in the wilds of the Dakota Territory. It's the spring of 1887, and Rose Gallagher is finally coming into her own. She's the proud owner of a lovely little home near Washington Square, where she lives with her mother and friend Pietro, and she's making a name for herself as a Pinkerton agent with a specialty in things . . . otherworldly. She and her partner Thomas are working together better than ever, and mostly managing to push aside romantic feelings for one another. Mostly. Things are almost too good to be true-so Rose is hardly surprised when Theodore Roosevelt descends on them like a storm cloud, hiring them for a mysterious job out west. A series of strange occurrences in the Badlands surrounding his ranch has Roosevelt convinced something supernatural is afoot. It began with livestock disappearing from the range, their bodies later discovered torn apart by something monstrously powerful. Now people are dying, too. Meanwhile, a successful prospector has gone missing, and rumors about his lost stash of gold have attracted treasure hunters from far and wide - but they keep disappearing, too. To top it all off, this past winter, a mysterious weather phenomenon devastated the land, leaving the locals hungry, broke, and looking for someone to blame. With tensions mounting and the body count rising, Roosevelt fears a single spark will be all it takes to set the Badlands aflame. It's up to Rose and Thomas to get to the bottom of it, but they're against the clock and an unknown enemy, and the west will prove wilder than they could possibly imagine..."--… (meer)

Even though I thoroughly enjoyed book two, I really came for TR this time and certainly wasn't disappointed.
Rose Gallagher (former Irish maid to) and Thomas Wilshire (wealthy Knickerbocker) are Pinkerton agents in its special branch which only deals with the paranormal. Think of it as an excellent noirish detective yarn starring Steed and Mrs Peel but from New York and in the company of necromancers and witches (among others). TR gives them an assignment out in the Badlands where a horrible winter has been followed by a possibly supernatural creature which is devouring livestock and hunting animals alike and the situation has become dire. Solving the problem is further complicated by the rowdies of the area, the discord between ranchers and the Lakota, a ghost, and a madman. Lots of action (guns) and suspense along with some impossible romantic issues.
I was thoroughly impressed with the extensive research of the area, the times, TR and other notables as detailed in the author's notes at the end. I absolutely loved it and was compelled to read it in one day.
I requested and received a free ebook copy from St Martin's Press via NetGalley. Thank you!
PS: I went back and ordered book one. ( )

This year has been a tough one everywhere. New York, especially, has been hit hard by COVID-19. But the city is no stranger to crisis, and once again, New Yorkers are rising to the occasion. This book is dedicated to the city of New York: to the health workers, scientists, public servants, and volunteers on the frontlines of the crisis; to the essential workers of all stripes, from teachers to bus drivers to grocery store clerks putting themselves at risk to keep the city running; to the ordinary New Yorkers going out of their way for their friends and neighbors and strangers in need. You are, as always, an inspiration.
