A Northwest Suspense Novel A botched poaching attempt, resulting in the murder of two Glacier National Park rangers, initially points to Earl Talbot as the killer, a reprobate from a Montana family with a 150-year criminal history behind them. Flathead County Sheriff's Sergeant Jake Fontaine and Detective Tiger Reagan believe they have an open-and-shut case with Talbot's arrest until an unidentified bootprint at the murder scene and a stained area on Earl's blood splattered jeans with DNA belonging to another person makes them question their 'facts'. Digging deeper, Jake and Tiger uncover a maze of suspects and seemingly unrelated evidence, but after three more murders their answer becomes clear and culminates with a desperate chase through the rugged Montana mountains to catch the killer before he crosses the border and disappears into the Canadian wilderness forever.
