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.

Mystery

Imagine a place where people know each other by the color of their parkas, where dogs are citizens, and where a handshake is as good as currency. Imagine a time when the wild went on forever, and the only link to the outside was a brave pilot with a shy smile. Imagine a world blanketed in snow and warmed by peopleÃ¢Â€Â¦ In the season of the long dark, fending off the isolation and cold of winter near the top of the world, it is the small town that can save Alaskans from themselves. The romantic image of the hardy loner braving the wilderness dominates popular thinking about life in the north, but the little towns of Alaska ar the last great secret of the Last Frontier. True Alaska living is found in small villages of scruffy cabins and odd characters, presented here as the ficitional town of Kahiltna. In this classic of Alaska fiction, the array of mushers and pilots, cheechakos and sourdougs who call Kahiltna home are exuberantly true to life, from the hilarious to the horrible.
