A quiet veteran. A loyal Belgian Malinois. A boy lost in a blizzard. And one blank steel tag that hides a promise kept for eight years.
In the small Montana town of Cedar Hollow, everyone calls Jack Mercer “the Hermit.” He lives alone on the ridge with his K9, Ranger, pays cash, and hardly speaks. The town whispers about prison and an attack dog. Then on the coldest night of the year, 9-year-old Eli Harlan goes missing in the storm, and the man nobody trusted is the only one who can bring him home.
What Eli’s grandfather finds on Ranger’s collar will change everything he believed about the stranger on the ridge.
