This "heart-thumping backwoods adventure" (New York Times Book
Review) from bestselling author Michael Koryta will soon be a major
motion picture starring Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Hoult.
When fourteen-year-old Jace Wilson witnesses a brutal murder, he's
plunged into a new life, issued a false identity and hidden in a
wilderness skills program for troubled teens. The plan is to get Jace
off the grid while police find the two killers.
The result is the start of a nightmare. The killers, known as the
Blackwell Brothers, are slaughtering anyone who gets in their way in a
methodical quest to reach him. Now all that remains between them and the
boy are Ethan and Allison Serbin, who run the wilderness survival
program; Hannah Faber, who occupies a lonely fire lookout tower; and
endless miles of desolate Montana mountains. The clock is ticking, the
mountains are burning, and those who wish Jace Wilson dead are no longer
far behind.
