The Cates family had always been a bad lot. Game warden Joe Pickett had been able to strike a fierce blow against them when the life of his daughter April had been endangered, but he’d always wondered if there’d be a day of reckoning.

飛機在黑暗中盤旋。喬．皮克特往下一看，只能在白雪和森林中隱約看見一個人影，隨後有另外三個人影向其逼近，但喬卻無能為力，他知道自己可能是這三個人的下一個目標。
