It was a clear night in Glacier National Park. Fourteen-year-old Ted
Systead and his father were camping beneath the rugged peaks and starlit
skies when something unimaginable happened: a grizzly bear attacked
Ted’s father and dragged him to his death. Now, twenty years
later, as Special Agent for the Department of the Interior, Ted gets
called back to investigate a crime that mirrors the horror of that
night. Except this time, the victim was tied to a tree before the
mauling. Ted teams up with one of the park officers—a man named Monty,
whose pleasant exterior masks an all-too-vivid knowledge of the
hazardous terrain surrounding them. Residents of the area turn out to be
suspicious of outsiders and less than forthcoming. Their intimate
connection to the wild forces them to confront nature, and their fellow

case progresses with no clear answers, more than human life is at
stake—including that of the majestic creature responsible for the
attack. Ted’s search for the truth ends up leading him deeper into the
wilderness than he ever imagined, on the trail of a killer, until he
reaches a shocking and unexpected personal conclusion. Views: 23

Throughout her career, Admiral Jenetta Carver had continually set aside her own interests for the good of the service as she worked tirelessly to bring peace to the Galactic Alliance.
