Throwback

Frank C. Strunk

"A breakout book. A rich layering of thought and emotion...take it beyond the thriller genre." -- "The Cincinatti Post" Cole Clayfield is called a throwback by those who know him. A Kentucky mountain man lost in modern times, he's more comfortable alone in his isolated cabin, hunting with his dogs, or teaching his granddaughter Shelby to understand nature and respect the earth. Then Shelby is suddenly kidnapped at gunpoint by a sociopath named Darnell, shocking Clayfield's tracking instincts into action. Desperate to get his granddaughter back alive, Clayfield sets out to do what he does best: hunt down an animal. Scaling the rough mountain trail and striding the mean city streets, Clayfield is on Darnell's trail, inching closer and closer to the madman who is holding his granddaughter -- praying that it's not too late to save her, and that Darnell pays with his life's blood for what he's done.
