Summary:

All Maggie Elliot had to do was get some rest and recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. What better place than the magnificent woods of the Northwest, where she is surrounded by great pine and fir trees, babbling brooks, and a bear or two? Her idyll is soon disturbed by disaster, however, in the form of a violent attack on two teenage hikers, which leaves one dead and the other all but. When Maggie discovers her own surprising connection to one of the victims, she is back on the detection trail. In the course. of her investigation, a fascinating Karuk Indian leads Maggie deep into the heart of Native American life and legend, and a mysterious Chinese man evokes her sympathy for his much-maligned people.
