Product Description
Jan 1991 Pocket Books MASS MARKET PAPERBACK, 2nd printing. Judith Van Gieson (Land of Burning Heat: A Claire Reynier Mystery). A steady law practice, a stash of tequila, a lover she calls the Kid - only a debt of the heart to her dear, dead aunt Joan could compel Neil Hamel to leave Albuquerque for Montana in search of a bird. No ordinary winged creature, the Arctic falcon is a near-mythic figure, a cool killer who likes the meat around the heart. In pursuit of this elusive species, Neil witnesses a sight even more awesome - a body plunging off a cliff. Soon she is swept into a murder case that brings together militant environmentalists and high-stakes poachers, federal investigators, and even an Arabian prince. Suddenly, in a wilderness where she has no shelter and little chance for survival, Neil is the target of human predators. - Amazon
