![]() ![]() Goodreads Teaser: "A debut literary thriller from an incredible new voice. ![]() Though I received this book for free, that has no impact upon the honesty of my review. I would like to thank Crown Publishers & LibraryThing's Early Reviewer Program for a copy of this ARC to review. Lewis takes the reader on an overwhelmingly grim odyssey that highlights the striking wilderness landscape and Elka's grit. ![]() But Elka is woefully ill-prepared to handle the human predators who cross her path. Trapper's years of tutelage have well equipped Elka with the hunting, tracking, and other skills she will need to try to elude both him and a relentless magistrate, Jennifer Lyon, who gets on his (and her) trail. He's wanted for multiple murders, in which she will soon be sought as an accomplice. On a rare visit to a distant town for supplies, Elka gets an alarmingly different picture of her protector. ![]() Known to her as Trapper, he's the only parental figure she has known. A stern woodsman took in Elka when she was seven. Elka, the 17-year-old orphan who narrates this arresting, if grisly, debut from Titan Books managing editor Lewis, struggles for survival in the land once known as British Columbia, which has been laid waste by two wars that destroyed most of humankind. ![]()
