Officer Ren Hopper is an enforcement ranger with the National Park Service, tasked with duties both mundane and thrilling. When Ren encounters a tall man with a gun chasing a small black bear up a hill, his hackles are raised. But what begins as an investigation into the background of a local poacher soon opens into something far murkier. Populated by a cast of extraordinary characters and bursting with unexpected humour and grace, Peter Heller masterfully unveils a portrait of the American west where our very human impulses play out amidst the stunning beauty of the natural world.
