Amazon.com review:

"As an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, William Queen must tackle a number of challenging cases. In the winter of 1985, he faced his toughest mission: to apprehend Mark Stephens, a narcotics trafficker who has been terrorizing the communities around Los Angeles with rampages involving machine guns and hand grenades. A recluse living in the backwoods outside the city, Stephens was a survivalist. Queen was determined to take him down. His unique expertise was not taught in any police academy or ATF training seminar - he honed his outdoorsman abilities as a kid. He wa adept at hunting and trapping and living for weeks in the wild. Queen used these skills - along with surveillance, confidential informants, and intelligence gathering - as he tracked his quarry in a chase that culminated high in the San Bernardino Mountains."
