For fans of C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, and Tony Hillerman — a 1970s Wyoming wilderness thriller about a small-town doctor whose family hunting trip becomes a kidnapping chase through the Bighorn Mountains.
It's September 1976, and Dr. Patrick Flint just wants to take his kids elk hunting in the Bighorn Mountains. His wife Susanne refuses to go. His daughter Trish, fifteen, has secretly arranged for her boyfriend to follow them up the mountain. His son Perry, twelve, is game for anything. What could go wrong?
Plenty. Back in Buffalo, a convicted killer named Billy Kemecke has escaped from prison — and he knows exactly where the Flint family is going. In the Cloud Peak Wilderness, Trish's arranged meeting with Brandon Lewis gets her kidnapped by the Jones family, who believe Patrick killed their mother through medical malpractice. On horseback in the dark at 9,000 feet with giardia tearing through his gut, Patrick follows hair fasteners dropped by Trish in the snow, a trail of smiley-face breadcrumbs through the wilderness. Susanne — attacked by Kemecke in her own home and left tied to a chair — is already ahead of him.
Switchback is the first Patrick Flint novel, set in the Buffalo, Wyoming of 1976 — the town where author Pamela Fagan Hutchins spent her elementary school years, and where her family's real adventures (minus the murders) inspired the entire series. The Bighorn Mountains, Red Grade Road, the Cloud Peak Wilderness: she knows them from the inside. Patrick Flint's Wyoming is as real as the wind.
He's a doctor trained in martial arts and tracking. She's a Texas woman tied to a chair with a bowie knife. Their twelve-year-old tackled a kidnapper. The mountains didn't know what hit them. Complete series: 9 novels.
