Killer in the Mist: A Tale of Terrifying Survival in the Wilderness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781508918592)

This harrowing tale of survival pits man against man and man against nature...deep in the woods of northern Maine.

It's 1948, and Gunner Mason and Tom Holt are working for six dollars a day as hunting guides in Maine. So when a group of businessmen from New York City offer to pay five hundred dollars for every buck over 250 pounds that they take home, Gunner convinces a reluctant Tom that the money will be worth the danger of leading six greenhorn city slickers far into the "big country" to find deer that size-in November.

Meanwhile, Douglas Farraday is being extradited for murder in the first degree on multiple counts in the state of Massachusetts. A highly decorated WWII veteran, he is discharged from the army due to a serious screwup. Upon his return home, he makes a shocking discovery that pushes him over the edge-resulting in a horrific bloodbath that sends him to prison.

But when the plane carrying Farraday crashes in the Maine woods, the killer suddenly finds himself free...and ready for a hunt. Will Gunner and Tom have what it takes to survive the ordeal?
