About the book: year / Eddie Marshall thought the idea was ridiculous: hitchhiking into the mountains of North Carolina to help his old friend deliver Christmas trees by truck to Louisiana. But Mark Rockley has managed to make the absurd seem entirely reasonable. And what does Eddie have to lose? At least here he could take his mind off his quarreling bandmates, corrupt managers, and the treacherous woman who left him. If he had known what happened on the mountain this morning, he would never have agreed to go up there in the evening. Even if trees could be cut down there with impunity. If Mark and Eddie had known what awaited them in the shadow of Ricket Peak, they would have stayed away from this mountain. As soon as possible. Madness, blood and death await them tonight.
