When Yellowstone backcountry ranger Will McCarroll is fired for breaking the rules one time too many, he disappears into the backcountry to continue his decades-long mission of protecting the park’s wildlife. Will is hell bent on saving a wounded grizzly bear whose fate is all but certain: euthanasia.


In his quest, Will stumbles onto a secret meeting of the Alliance, a political movement determined—at any cost—to force the transfer of public lands into state hands. Blackfeet wolverine biologist Johnny Yellow Kidney has taken a forced hiatus from his work in Glacier National Park to head a project born of a high-profile journalist’s loss from a highway tragedy. The goal: to construct safe highway crossings for Montana’s wildlife. Once again, Johnny and Will’s paths cross, not only through both men’s romantic connection to Yellowstone Magistrate Judge Annie Peacock, but also in each man’s race to save the two- and four-leggeds they’ve sworn to protect. Time is running out in Yellowstone Country—and for Will, Johnny, and those they’ve dedicated their careers to defending, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

“A gorgeous book. Grizzly Justice is a riveting read, the majesty and magic of its landscapes and wildlife illuminating every page. I couldn’t put the book down and closed the last page with a deep sense of gratitude for our national parks and profound respect for those who fight to protect them. This book will bring transformational awareness to its readers. It certainly did for me.”


-Ruth Wariner New York Times bestselling author of The Sound of Gravel.


“April Christofferson weaves together her knowledge of the cadences of the natural world, the complexity of behavior that enables injustice, the redemption that passion provides to individual initiative, and the foibles of the human heart.”

-Jeff Hull, bestselling author of Broken Field: A Novel


“Guaranteed to make any reader late for dinner, or even breakfast.”

-Booklist on Clinical Trial

APRIL CHRISTOFFERSON’S ALPHA FEMALE APPEARS FROM FORGE BOOKS


Alpha Female

Annie Peacock is the strong willed young judge who heads up Yellowstone National Park's judicial system, and Will McCarroll is a longtime backcountry ranger who's obsessed with stopping poachers. Will's willingness to break every rule in the book has earned him a formidable reputation. It's also earned him Annie's disdain.

When Annie's mother is kidnapped by someone wanting to scare her off the bench, Will helps her search, and a common respect, understanding, and attraction develops between these two former enemies.

But when Will learns of a plan for trophy hunters to shoot the park's cherished "alpha female" wolf, Number 22, he disappears into the back country to stop them. Number 22 is on the move to find a new mate, after the killing of her pack leader, Number 21. The price on her head grows into the high five-figures, and her safety rests with Will finding the poachers before they find her. As Will tracks Number 22 into the wilds of Yellowstone, he discovers the true extent of the danger-and that there is far more at risk than the life of the alpha female.

About the Author

April Christofferson is an author, speaker and advocate for wildlife, wilderness and social justice.

Though she grew up in Chicago, the West is rooted in April's genes. She attributes her love of animals, nature and the West to time spent as a child visiting Yellowstone National Park and her grandfather's Wyoming ranch. Floyd "Doc" Carroll, beloved Wyoming state veterinarian and cowboy, was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame, as one of this country's "Great Westerners."

At age 40 she wrote her first book, After the Dance, followed by three novels - The Protocol, Clinical Trial, and Patent to Kill - all medical thrillers favorably compared by reviewers to the work of Michael Crichton and Robin Cook.

For her next book, Buffalo Medicine, April turned the spotlight on a highly volatile Western controversy: the politically motivated and senseless slaughter of bison that wander outside the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park.

April regularly writes natural history pieces for Yellowstone Discovery, the Yellowstone Association's quarterly publication. In addition to using her writing as a vehicle for education and advocacy, April devotes much of her time to researching and speaking out on wildlife issues and working hands-on with nonprofits tackling the issues that most concern her.

Of the many hats April wears to pursue her passions, she is also a contract attorney and technical writer with the University of Montana in Continuing Education where she supports Montana's Tobacco Use Prevention Program. She's an advocate for a smokefree Montana and her work gives her the opportunity to speak out in support of Montana's clean indoor air law.
