Description
An LA Times Best Book of the Year The product of a long line of hunters, shamans, and healers, Diana Jackman grew up surrounded by wilderness. A natural-born tracker, she and seven other hunters have gathered in the remote and treacherous snow-covered tundra of northern British Columbia in pursuit of white-tail deer. And while the group may be isolated, they are not alone. Deep in the woods, a vicious force watches, waits, and stalks its targets. When the hunters become the hunted, Diana will learn—for the first time in her life—what it’s like to be prey. In the blinding white wilderness of the Canadian winter, one by one, the members of her crew are stalked by a ruthlessly efficient hunter. Diana soon realizes that her only options are to kill or be killed—and she’ll have to draw from all the knowledge and skill in her arsenal to survive the predator lurking in the trees. . . Finalist for the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best Novel "Outstanding. A real old-fashioned thriller. ”—Los Angeles Times “Superbly written. A remarkable book. ”—London Literary Review
