Following the death of his wife and son at childbirth John Roundtree becomes a bitter recluse, rumored to dabble in the supernatural. When hunting guide Eagle Feather and his two clients stumble across the body of a small white girl on a lonely mesa on the reservation, people naturally suspect Roundtree.

FBI agent Zack Tolliver is called in. He finds bear tracks that lead away from the body then mysteriously turn to human prints. He follows them but the suspect escapes and Zack begins to wonder who or what, exactly, he is pursuing. With the help of his girlfriend Libby Whitestone and her scent dog he finds evidence that links the crime to Roundtree. When they find other girls buried in Roundtree’s yard the case is blown wide open.

The Other is an exciting adventurous romp in pursuit of a mystery killer across the highlands and deserts of the American Southwest, the sort of mystery thriller that sends you to bed early just to read it.
