From the Inside Flap
It should be a simple job. All Raleigh Colter and his partner, Jeff Crutchfield, have to do is guide photographer Gwen McCarthy and her father to the Guadalupe Mountains. But Colter is experienced enough to know that nothing comes easy in West Texas. The rugged country is far from hospitable, often teeming with thieves, killers, and renegade Apaches. Plus, Gwen wants to photograph a mountain lion in the wild - which has never been done - and her father is a drunk. Pitted against Mother Nature and murderous outlaws, Colter and Gwen are soon forced to rely on their skills - and each other - just to survive. If they fail, some other photographer might wind up taking a picture of their bleached bones in the high desert.

While researching This Man Colter, Johnny D. Boggs spent time hiking around West Texas - camping at Guadalupe Mountains National Park one spring night that turned so cold his toothpaste was frozen the next morning. He lives in Dallas with his wife, Lisa Smith, and works in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Sports Department when not writing about the American frontier.
