Amoral and violent, Darnell Pittmore escapes on his way to court by seizing ten-year-old Shelby Stockton as hostage. Shelby's grandfathers?wealthy businessman/ lawyer G.D. Stockton and mountain man Cole Clayfield?set out to rescue her, each in his own way. Throughout the rugged mountain country of Kentucky and southern Ohio, hunters and quarry fight their desperate battles with the life of the little girl as the ultimate prize. While Stockton relies upon his wealth and contacts, Clayfield calls upon his lifetime of wilderness skills and Shelby uses her wits and courage to good advantage. The story rapidly involves the reader through unexpected plot twists and the author's portrayal of Clayfield as a believable man, aging, battling his own demons, all too human and vulnerable to the terrible pains inflicted by a singularly evil villain.
