After continuous complaints that a poaching ring is running rampant in northeastern Washington, Fish & Wildlife police officer Luke McCain is assigned to go undercover to try to infiltrate the gang. Just as Luke and his fellow deputies move to finally catch the poachers red-handed, one of the crooks flees into the mountains and Luke has to hunt him down.

Days later when a serial killer, suspected of killing dozens of women around the Northwest, escapes from custody when a Department of Corrections van crashes in the rugged North Cascades, Luke and Jack are hand-picked by the Governor to join the manhunt.  The pressure is on to find the fugitive before he disappears into the wilderness, possibly to reemerge and kill again. 

Rob Phillips is an award-winning newspaper and magazine writer and the author of the critically acclaimed “Luke McCain mystery series,”featuring a fish and wildlife officer who, with the assistance of his faithful yellow Labrador retriever Jack, patrols the mountains, streams and trails of the Pacific Northwest.  

In his best-selling debut novel “The Cascade Killer,”Phillips gets his protagonists involved in a search for someone who is murdering women and dumping their bodies in the Cascade Mountains of Central Washington.

In the four Luke McCain mysteries that have followed, Luke and Jack have run down murderers, kidnappers, eco-terrorists, and several other criminals, including an organized gang of poachers, in the just-released “Cascade Manhunt.”

A book Phillips wrote about his life with dogs, was released last Christmas.  “A Dog Life Well Lived” shares many heartwarming, scary and funny tales of a lifetime spent outdoors with some amazing four-legged family members.     

Phillips’ column, “The Northwest Sportsman,” has appeared virtually every week for the last 32 years in the Yakima Herald-Republic. 

Rob and his wife Terri, live in Yakima, Washington withone very spoiled Labrador retriever named Bailey.
