Author Description

They were two men tall. Tall as the sky, we used to say. Old Lucy remembers the days before logging invaded her world, before the tall creatures disappeared. Then, she says, one came back. He was young and full grown.In Ocahlo County, Montana, Floyd Jefferson is elected sheriff. The powerful lumberman Louis Pollard, angered, promises trouble. And other trouble follows: a mysterious death, a disappearance, logging equipment destroyed -- on and on. On scant evidence, Floyd follows a hunch, finding what he hopes not to find: that a mythical forest giant is no myth, and that it seems to threaten almost everything.
