Description

A powerful and wealthy country, lies in ruin; its economy has collapsed, law and order have vanished-replaced by looting, arson, anarchy and starvation. Only one man knows the deeply buried causes of the collapse and its possible re-birth, but he is determined to kill himself. He was once wealthy and famous as a brilliant economist, but his life of debauchery destroyed his family, scattering its members. His wife joined a Christian commune and his only son became a leader of a motorcycle gang. He is reduced now to trapping to make his living. Crushed by the weight of guilt and shame he sees no way out except by death. A homeless boy, attracted by Trapper's wisdom, fights to keep him alive. He is joined by a beautiful young woman, who falls in love with Trapper, leaves everything she has, and risks her life to find him in the wilderness. The stakes of the desperate struggle to prevent Trapper from killing himself could not be higher. The lives of three kidnapped girls, the survival of the pacifist Christian commune, of the people who love him, of his only son, of his numerous followers, and the future of his devastated country depend on it. Author Bio: Leonard Pluta, a native of Poland, is a retired professor of economics. He discovered the joy and freedom of writing fiction only after his retirement. The Trapper of Hunchback Mountain is his second novel. He is married, with three children and six (soon eight) grandchildren and now lives with his wife near the beautiful little town of Antigonish, Nova Scotia
