Juniper Creed and The Legend of The Old Trapper (ePub)

A young woman is left stranded in the wilderness twenty-five miles from the nearest road, with only the clothes on her back and a small woolen blanket. A tragic love and a mummified body, an Adirondack Legend dating back to the late eighteen hundreds, the legend of the "Old Trapper" will finally be revealed.

While recovering from a gunshot wound, Juniper Creed, a New York, Port Authority Police Detective, travels to the Adirondack Mountains to make a decision on what to do with her family home, the Whitetail Lodge. Once a thriving hunting lodge, the Whitetail had been closed for many years prior to her father, Harlan Creed's death. It has been six months since Harlan's funeral and it is finally time for Juniper to make a decision as to the Whitetail's fate.

Upon arriving at the lodge, ten miles from the nearest blacktop highway, Juniper gets out of her vehicle to unlock the driveway's gate, ony to be attacked from behind by an unseen assailant. While trying to fight off her attacker Juniper is knocked unconscious, tied up, and dumped in the back of her rental Jeep. Unknown to her, the lodge has been taken over by a crew of smugglers, intending to use the Whitetail as a temporary hideout while they transport illegal drugs across the border from Canada.

What the smugglers don't know is that Juniper grew up in the mountains and learned how to survive using nature's bountiful resources. She is determined to make it back to the lodge and hold those accountable for her plight.

In a stroke of luck she stumbles across the hidden camp of the "Old Trapper," an Adirondack Legend not seen in over fifty years. Finding the trapper's remains and his last wishes, along with some life-saving supplies and the trapper's 1886 Winchester rifle, Juniper sets out on the long trek out of the wilderness, intent on settling the score.
