About this product
Product Information
Haunted. Scarred. Alone. And the nightmare's just beginning. Of all the end-of-the-world places he could have run to after he was burned, Miles McEwan chose Ross River. Buried deep in the vast wilderness of the Yukon, it seemed the perfect place to escape the past. Best of all, he could carry on doing what he did best--fighting fire. But five years on, Miles is still troubled by two phantoms of his previous life: the young man whose agonizing death preys on his conscience, and the woman he abandoned as a consequence. And in the dark forest around Ross River, fire and violence are brewing. As a small blaze becomes an inferno, a group of bear trackers is about to encounter nature in its wildest form. Elsewhere a killer is going about his work, quietly and ruthlessly. As the survivors of the hunting party are picked off one by one and fire rages through the mountains, Miles embarks on a desperate rescue mission, driven by love for a daughter who, until this dangerous summer, had been a perfect stranger. A remarkable work,The Wildfire Seasonis an edgy psychological thriller, a supernatural chiller, a terrifying tale of untamed nature, and an unusual--and unusually moving--story of what one can choose to endure in the name of love.

International Praise for The Wildfire Season A Globe and Mail , Vancouver Sun , and Calgary Herald Best Book of the Year " Lost Girls was one of the most stunning debuts I've read: literate, scary, haunting. Now, with The Wildfire Season, Andrew Pyper has solidified that marvellous potential. A novel of true haunting loneliness and isolation, plus a gripping story that scorches off the page. This novel of extraordinary power combines the supernatural, edge of your seat suspense, nature in all its wondrous ferocity, and scars--visible and invisible. The writing is a dream, demonstrating that indeed, the past can kill. This is a novel that blazes with all the ingredients of the best literature ."--Ken Bruen, author of Calibre and The Dramatist "With its tortured hero and fast-paced action, The Wildfire Season is a true Yukon potboiler. Andrew Pyper has talent galore and sure hands, ratcheting up the suspense to the very end."--Stewart O'Nan, author of The Good Wife "Pyper knows how to whirl a complex plot into motion . . . but exceeds the demands of the suspense-thriller genre . . . a literary craftsman who knows what he is doing at all times."-- The Globe and Mail (Canada) "A brilliant melding of mystery, suspense, survival . . . an irresistible force. The plotting and pacing are impeccable.
