The sixth exciting Mountain Man adventure from John Sammon!
A killer is stalking the frontier, a vicious, sadistic, serial killer. But is it Ursidon, the bear-god, a man who becomes a grizzly bear as the Nez Perce Indians believe? Or a man who thinks he’s a bear, a maniac who kills for no reason?
The fiend destroys his victims and disappears into the mountains.
Famed scout Zeb Simms is hired to guide a party of vigilantes to track down and kill the killer in some of the most rugged country imaginable, today the Bitterroot Mountains.
A tale of suspense and surprise, Track of a Maniac is the story of the tracking of a monster, who will in turn stalk his pursuers. In the end it will come down to just two. The hunter and the hunted will jockey for position against each other in a howling wilderness. Only one can be the victor.
