from the back of paperback In a remote corner of New Hampshire, SEAL, petty officer Mark Jenkins ans Troubleshooter/security expert Lindsey Fountaine are involved in a raid-and-rescue training excerise. But pratice turns into a real emergency when a team member vanishes in the treacherous wilderness. When estrangement follows an impulsive night of passion, Jenk and Lindsey must put aside their feelings as they launch a manhunt with the FBI. Then a horrifying discovery leads them to beleive that the missing young woman has fallen into the clutches of a serial killer--one who knows the backwoods terrain and who doesn't play by the rules of engagement. In a race against time, a raging blizzard, and a cunning opponent, Jenk and Lindsey risk everything in a desperate attempt to save a colleague--and each other.
