Call Hawkins just wants to be left alone and leave the past where it belongs. The bleak beauty of Dead Horse Creek is a perfect place to get away from the world, a place where nothing exists to remind him of everything he's lost. His isolation is complete - until Charity Sinclair arrives fresh from New York City. Stunningly beautiful and stubbornly independent, she's also shamefully ignorant of the untamed wilderness and the very real dangers she'll face if Call doesn't teach her a thing or two.
But even with Call's grudging help, Charity's dream of life in the Yukon may have led her into something much more savage than the forest: a menace as endless as the long days that run together without darkness - and a killer who won't let anything come between him and perfect, deadly vengeance.
