Time, reality, life and death are nebulous things in the Alaska bush. The wall between the natural and the supernatural is one of gossamer rather than stone. When dead bears, as well as dead men, are discovered along Moose Jaw Creek, Hard Case Calis returns to the wilderness to investigate. With the help of his old friends, Gus and Haywood, and a subtle assist from Morgan and Old Blue Eye, he sets out to track down a merciless killer. But he must be very careful; the legendary Trilogy, also known as the Ghost Bear, is out there too - waiting.
