Abstract:
The body of Philadelphia drug kingpin, Phil Ritzo, has been found at the Deer Hollow Motel in upstate Pennsylvania in a wilderness area called Klinkton County. His brains have been blown out, his girlfriend is missing, and 20,000 heavily armed and trigger happy hunters are pouring into the area for the annual bloodletting called “deer season.” Sorting through the chaos is recently elected Sheriff Jesse Eichenlaub who is still reeling from a serial killer case that put his only deputy, Clay Letterman, in the hospital and his girlfriend, Marlee Fleece, on life support.
