The Yukon Quest has the reputation of being the toughest
sled dog race in the world, taking teams and mushers through
more than a thousand miles of North America's most remote
and treacherous territory. Jessie Arnold is ready to meet
the challenge.
Jessie and her team of dogs are well
prepared for the daring competition, but her one regret is
that her longtime friend and lover, Alex Jensen, isn't there
to see her off. Alex has been called home to Idaho for a
family emergency and Jessie begins the big race without her
biggest booster. Well along the trail, Jessie is stunned to
learn that a young novice racer she met at the start has
been abducted and held for ransom. The girl's distraught
father has been warned that no one but Jessie Arnold is to
be told--especially not the police. Feeling isolated and
alone, Jessie must decide what to do in the face of terrible
odds.
It's the contest of a lifetime, yet as the other
mushers push toward the finish line, Jessie forges ahead in
a race all her own. Unable to ignore the plight of the
missing girl, she's in a life and death battle against a
desperate, unknown kidnapper who will stop at nothing.
Speeding through the twists and turns of the icy, broken
trails, Jessie has no time for fear. For somewhere in that
vast and lonely landscape, a killer waits for a chance to
unleash a murderous rage on anyone who dares to get in his way.
