The Wolfe Family series tracks a criminal dynasty with roots on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border. Starting with Country of the Bad Wolfes in 2012, James Carlos Blake traces the family from its violent origins through successive generations that carry on the tradition of operating outside the law. The series ran for five books through 2020, ending with The Bones of Wolfe.
Each book focuses on different family members at different points in history, but the thread connecting them is the family’s code of loyalty and their willingness to use force to protect their interests. The Rules of Wolfe, The House of Wolfe, and The Ways of Wolfe each shift the timeline and the cast while maintaining the border setting and the themes of blood loyalty that define the saga. Blake writes the family’s story with sympathy for their internal logic even as he makes clear the costs of their choices.
