"Anthropology student Steven Lambert confides in local librarian Helen Heppelwhite that during his field research he's being studied by a mountain lion he calls Maybellene. Then the discovery of a hunter's body leads authorities to the area, to pursue a killer. But to Steven, all is not as it seems. He must make a life-changing decision, to save not only himself but also Maybellene. A mystery "on natures terms" takes place in the engineering marvel of Glenwood Canyon, on a cliff above Interstate 70, and in the City of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, with its world-famous hot springs resort."--Back cover.
