Way down on the high lonely
(Book - Regular Print)

"A Thomas Dunne book."

On the trail to find two-year-old Cody, abducted by his father, Neal Carey encounters white supremacists, a saloon fight, a little cowboy work, and some survivalist training.

Neal Carey's third year of internment in a remote Chinese monastery is ended by a visit from Joe Graham, his one-armed mentor, bringing good news and bad: "Friends of the Family" have bought Neal's freedom -- but before he can return to his beloved graduate studies, he has one small errand to run. Without much choice or enthusiasm, Neal follows Graham to California to find two-year-old Cody McCall, who has been abducted by his father during a custodial visit. The trail leads Neal from Hollywood studios to the wilds of Nevada, where he must infiltrate a vicious group of white supremacists. His undercover efforts require a saloon fight, a little cowboy work, and some survivalist training before he finds young Cody, and in the bargain learns more about human nature -- including his own -- than he ever wanted to know. --,Inside cover
