About This Book

A hunter camping alone in the Northwest wakes to find his mule, rifle, and clothing swapped with those of a stranger and soon is seized by men who identify him as a wanted man because of the exchanged gear. Refusing to explain the nighttime trade, he is carried into custody and must confront the consequences of mistaken identity. The narrative follows how a concealed tragedy in the woods and a single, seemingly small act of exchange set off a chain of repercussions, examining chance encounters, legal peril, and how isolated decisions produce unforeseen effects.
