A missing woman. A fugitive on the run. A case where nothing is what it seems. When 22-year-old Candy goes missing on a popular hiking trail, suspicion falls on her recently paroled ex-boyfriend. It was Candy's testimony that got him put away--and now he's after revenge. The ensuing manhunt leads Dalton Savage and his team into the unforgiving Colorado mountains, where avoiding the wild animals are the least of their worries. Just when they think they've got their man, a new development spins the case on its head. Who was Candy really running from? And are they still after her? Faced with a desperate and ruthless adversary, Savage risks everything, including losing those closest to him, to see the killer brought to justice.
