Publisher Description
"He's dead."
When Doctor Rebekah LaRoche makes the pronouncement in Senator Jeffrey Harris' office, her world is rocked by the death—and the note found beside the deceased. It's addressed to her personally: an ominous warning that those in her life always end up worse off because of her.
While the Donavan Brothers Circus rolls into Centennial Ridge, Wyoming, a murderous stalker tracks Rebekah's every move and targets those she loves. Death and near-death follow her in a terrifying sequence. But when Just Jimmy finds himself in the stalker's crosshairs, Rebekah unravels, ready to give up her quest to return home to the Omaha Indian Reservation for fear of endangering her relatives there.
Nowhere is truly safe for Rebekah as long as deadly secrets stalk her and tests of faith, regret, and forgiveness culminate in the Medicine Bow Mountains as a single terrifying fight for her own survival. "Doc Beck" has saved many lives—but can she save her own?
About the Doc Beck Westerns:
Of Omaha Indian and French descent, 34-year-old Doctor Rebekah LaRoche goes by Doc Beck, which gets her foot in doors before her patients and patrons realize she's a woman. A sophisticated spitfire with remarkable people skills, a foot in the door is all Rebekah needs to do her job. Traveling the West in the 1890s to lend aid and cure the sick, Doc Beck finds herself solving problems and setting straight more than just broken bones. But the work doesn't fill the longing in her heart for a place to truly call home—and someone beyond herself to believe in.

Customer Reviews
Loved it!
Ape Man is Sarah Ellizabeth Sawyer's eight Doc Beck Western, and it is my new favorite!
We catch up with Rebekah, her good friend "Just Jimmy" and her friend and "guardian" Laramie, and we meet some new people such as the circus performers, some of who are disfigured. I appreciate how the book reminds us that they are human, and should be treated with respect, just as we all should. Doc Beck yearns to return to her Omaha family members and friends, to serve as their physician, but there are obstacles in her path. Several people are murdered, but what is the connection between them? Will Rebekah make it back to the Omaha Reservation? Will she and Laramie continue to grow closer or will the murders tear them apart? It is obvious that Sawyer loves her characters, and it is reflected in how well she develops them, creating chracters that we feel strongly about, and feel as if we know thempersonally.
Kept me on the edge of my seat!!
“There’s evil in this world I don’t think we were meant to understand, Becka. But we were meant to fight it.” This quote from Laramie Jones in the new Doc Beck book, Ape Man, pretty much sums it all up. Evil has wormed its way into Doc Beck’s life again but she doesn’t back down. Ape Man is fast paced and action packed and it will have you guessing until the very end. I highly recommend reading it!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author but was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine and 100% honest.
