Synopsis

Backcountry: A Novel is a story of love, murder, and high adventure set in Montana's Glacier National Park. Beth Blanchard, a recently divorced, burnt-out former prosecutor from Tucson, Arizona has quit the law, under extenuating circumstances, and has moved to West Glacier, Montana to get away from things, relax and write a book. At first the getaway works as she meets Harry Dawkins, a retired Marine officer who introduces her to the beauty and adventure found in Glacier Nationa Park. But that changes when the body of a young Indian woman is found, reminding her of the unsolved murders of several Indian women near Grand Canyon National Park. She decides to investigate. Meanwhile the killer has become fixated on a beautiful young college student, a seasonal worker in the park. Backcountry is a thriller that blends a captivating combination of outdoor adventure and high-stakes suspense involving Beth and Harry, a sadistic killer and a terrified young woman, a marauding grizzly bear, and a grieving father with Blackfeet warrior traditions and revenge on his mind.
