McRoy & Blackburn, Publishers Books from the north: well-written fiction by Alaskan authors, published by an Alaskan press.
$16.95, paper
$24.95, cloth The wilderness of Alaska can be judge, jury, and executioner
to anyone foolish enough to try to cross it alone, but the wild places
know nothing of human ideas of justice or sanity. While the police are
satisfied that the murderer of four men at a remote camp in the Talkeetna
Mountains will not long survive, Jeep George, hunting guide and best friend
to one of the victims, knows that the dangerous country into which the killer
has fled can be friend to those who understand it and respect its rules,
even if they flout those of human society. Jeep decides to track his deranged
prey, relying on the skills gained from the two cultures of his grandfathers.
The trail leads halfway across the state while Jeep learns that hunting a man
means being hunted himself. Long-time journalist, guide, and outdoorsman
Randles uses his years of experience in Alaska to bring this exciting but
thoughtful story to life.
