"Both a mystery and a survival story, here is a novel written with a
naturalist's eye for detail and an unrelenting pace. It reminded me of
the best of Nevada Barr." --James Rollins, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Last Odyssey
The first book in a thrilling series featuring an intrepid wildlife
biologist who's dedicated to saving endangered species...and relies on
her superior survival skills to thwart those who aim to stop her.
While studying wolverines on a wildlife sanctuary in Montana, biologist
Alex Carter is run off the road and threatened by locals determined to
force her off the land.
Undeterred in her mission to help save this threatened species, Alex
tracks wolverines on foot and by cameras positioned in remote regions of
the preserve. But when she reviews the photos, she discovers disturbing
images of an animal of a different kind: a severely injured man
seemingly lost and wandering in the wilds.
After searches for the unknown man come up empty, local law enforcement
is strangely set on dismissing the case altogether, raising Alex's
suspicions. Then another invasive predator trespasses onto the preserve.
The hunter turns out to be another human--and the prey is the wildlife
biologist herself. Alex realizes too late that she has seen too
much--she's stumbled onto a far-reaching illegal operation and now has
become the biggest threat.
In this wild and dangerous landscape, Alex's life depends on staying one
step ahead--using all she knows about the animal world and what it takes
to win the brutal battle for survival.
