pick“ yes, fer-de-lance…Except for the bushmaster, it is the most dreaded of all vipers.”(238) Eventually, one such snake does end up in Wolfe‘s drawer, but he & his sidekick, Archie kill it.This first in this series is long & meandering,involving multiple characters & red herrings. Archie narrates the story in first person, which took me awhile to get used to.Up next is The League of Frightened Men,2nd in the series. #SeriesLove2026
