Hurricane Canoe: An Adirondack Wilderness Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987875711)

"An exhilarating exercise in suspense. . . Playing out against the majestic peaks and lush valleys of the Adirondack Mountains, [Hurricane Canoe is] a devilish, terrifying game of cat and mouse . . . maintaining the intensity at a fever pitch from its arresting start to a shocking conclusion." -KIRKUS REVIEWS

Two men paddle into the wild, each with his own secrets.

Gilbert Willards is a socially awkward professional poker player with no interest in camping or canoeing. His would-be brother-in-law, Trent, on the other hand, is a capable outdoorsman-but one with a shadowy past and volatile psyche.

A freak storm lurks beyond the mountains.

When the pouring rain and flash floods of a wayward Atlantic hurricane threaten to strand the two men deep in the Adirondack wilderness, their only escape looks to be a perilous mountain trek through increasingly severe weather.

Waters and tensions rise.

With their lives on the line, and escalating conflicts between them, the pair must put the past and future aside and find a way to work together in a harrowing race against time and the elements-and their own worst natures.

But how far is each man willing to go to survive? And what dark motivations led to this strained excursion in the first place?

With warm summer lakes, cold calculations, and a relentlessly challenging wilderness, Hurricane Canoe delivers a wildly entertaining, suspense-filled adventure perfect for a backcountry lean-to.
