Includes excerpt from Rise the Dark

"After fourteen-year-old Jace Wilson witnesses a brutal murder, he's plunged into a new life, issued a false identity, and hidden in a wilderness-survival program for troubled teens. The plan is to get Jace off the grid while the police find the two killers. And so the nightmare begins. The killers, known as the Blackwell brothers, are slaughtering anyone who gets in their way. Soon all that remains between them and the boy are a couple who run the wilderness-survival program, a woman who occupies a lonely fire-lookout tower, and endless miles of desolate Montana mountains. While the clock ticks, the mountains are burning, and those who wish Jace Wilson dead are drawing ever closer." -- Page [4] cover
