This book,as always with Linda Howard's novels, is great! This is a change of pace, an edge of the chair, tension inspiring chase. The heroine is being hunted by two predators, a human one and a feral bear. What more need I say, it's a wonderful read, well-written, dramatic and written about people that you care about - superb!

Seems like all of Howard's recent books are weak on substance and have similar plots. In this one, Angie and Dare are two adversaries competing for the same clients as wilderness tour guides. In Angie's case, she takes on two clients and witnesses one killing the other before a bear comes upon the dead man and eats him. Didn't care for the numerous pages of thoughts from the bear's point of view. Too much time spent by the author detailing how the bear attacks and the killer who has shot Dare. But the heroine saves the day by killing the bear before it gets her and Dare. Not one of her better works.
