Deep inside the Rocky Mountain wilderness uncertainty looms. When trespassers terrorize the natural surroundings, ethereal vigilantes respond. Murder is a violent act: Its deepest strains are connected to power. Governor Lund committed manslaughter and then purchased the law. To avenge is revenge. If justice can be bought, then so can legitimacy. That's how the String came to be. Lund's hunting party was out of control by the time Tree Wildbird showed. Worse is the fact that game warden Wildbird was off duty. He and his wife Isabelle, along with their two children, were innocently camped nearby. This untimely encounter immediately turned fatal. After Tree and Isabelle's cold-blooded murders, what family remained pledged to purchase integral fragments of land to form a wildlife corridor. So, with farsighted ingenuity, this clan of environmental vigilantes, answered the assassinations with an astonishing green rebellion. Displaying waggish resourcefulness, these crusaders covertly fashion a safeguarded passageway that spans 390 miles from the Canadian border south into Yellowstone National Park. To distract from the concealed land grab, a band of riders known as the Ink Prayer, commit raids against poachers who terrorize endemic wildlife. With each raid, the Ink Prayer applies a creative response to evade the law. The only trace left behind is a small insignia brandishing a single feather that replicates the silhouette of the wildlife corridor. Brazen raids and pleasing love entanglements hasten the reader to press forward into the ghostly world that is "Inside the String." This impending governmental scandal turns into a grass-roots movement that would make Theodore Roosevelt proud.
