The Shaming Eyes

Three escaped killers on the loose. A shadow predator slaughtering wild horses. The High Lonesome is about to become a crossfire.

In the high desert of Eastern Oregon, spring doesn't bring renewal-it brings a season of dying. Vietnam veteran turned wildlife ranger Nick Drake faces a double nightmare when a trio of ruthless, escaped convicts flees into his backcountry, leaving a trail of violence in their wake. At the same time, a cruel predator is poisoning the region's iconic wild horse herds, striking at the very heart of the land Nick has sworn to protect.

Outnumbered, outgunned, and running out of time, Nick is drawn into a relentless double manhunt across an unforgiving landscape.

To survive the impending collision, he must look to the ancient wisdom of his Paiute neighbors and rely on the lethal tracking instincts he forged in the jungles of Southeast Asia. But when the hunter become the hunted, Nick realizes this isn't just a law enforcement operation-it's an all-out fight to the finish to save everything, and everyone, he loves.
