It's common for the first day on the job to go badly, but not this badly. Tracker Mac Crow quickly goes from hunter to hunted. Mackenzie Crow is hired to trail a fugitive from the law. Mac might be new to bounty hunting, but he is right at home in the northern woods, and this is just the sort of job he needs to make a name for himself. Skillfully pursuing a murderer deep into the wilderness, Mac assumes this manhunt will be a slam dunk, after all, law officers and fellow bounty hunter Rosa are at his side. Homo sapiens are full of surprises however, and the young tracker finds himself on the wrong end of the hunt. Mac and Rosa must escape from the deep mountains, with minimal gear during a blizzard, and to make things worse, they are being tracked by a killer who always seems to be three steps ahead of them. If Mac's skills of survival and tracking fail them, he and Rosa's bodies won't be found until spring time. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

There is some discussion of mindfulness and spirituality nicely woven into the narrative - not too much, but enough to add some extra thoughtfulness. The weaving of bushcraft and tracking techniques into the narrative is well done, and adds a lot of enjoyable flavour to the novel.
Mr. Hollingsworth is beginning to hit his stride as an author, and this book is a definite improvement over the first of the series (I quite enjoyed the first book, although not as much as #2).
Perhaps I should also mention that on the day that I received the book (I had pre-ordered it), I dropped everything to read it and didn't stop until I had finished. I had only meant to read the first chapter, but once started I couldn't stop.
Why 4 stars instead of 5? To me, 3 stars indicates something worth reading, 4 stars indicates that a book that has something special going for it in addition to being a very good read, and 5 stars is reserved for legendary books like "Dune" or "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress".
