But Elka is woefully ill-prepared to handle the human predators who cross her path. Trapper’s years of tutelage have well equipped Elka with the hunting, tracking, and other skills she will need to try to elude both him and a relentless magistrate, Jennifer Lyon, who gets on his (and her) trail. He’s wanted for multiple murders, in which she will soon be sought as an accomplice. On a rare visit to a distant town for supplies, Elka gets an alarmingly different picture of her protector. Known to her as Trapper, he’s the only parental figure she has known. ![]() ![]() Elka, now 17, can barely remember a time when she didn’t live deep in the woods of BeeCee (presumably British Columbia) with a man she calls Trapper. She was just seven years old, wandering lost and hungry in the wilderness, when the solitary hunter took her in. A stern woodsman took in Elka when she was seven.
