This "heart-thumping backwoods adventure" (New York Times Book Review) from bestselling author Michael Koryta will soon be a major motion picture starring Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Hoult.
When fourteen-year-old Jace Wilson witnesses a brutal murder, he's
plunged into a new life, issued a false identity and hidden in a
wilderness skills program for troubled teens. The plan is to get Jace
off the grid while police find the two killers.
The result is
the start of a nightmare. The killers, known as the Blackwell Brothers,
are slaughtering anyone who gets in their way in a methodical quest to
reach him. Now all that remains between them and the boy are Ethan and
Allison Serbin, who run the wilderness survival program; Hannah Faber,
who occupies a lonely fire lookout tower; and endless miles of desolate
Montana mountains. The clock is ticking, the mountains are burning, and
those who wish Jace Wilson dead are no longer far behind.
