More about the book
WHO WAS THE KILLER? For as long as anyone could remember, the Grizzly - the mightiest native beast in America's National Parks - had caused no harm to humans. Campers had come to treat this giant animal with a mixture of fondness and contempt, as if the king of the wilderness were a plaything designed for their amusement. Then, in a single night, two lovely young girls were savagely mangled and killed by enraged bears - and the Grizzly became an enemy that had to be destroyed. Night of the Grizzlies is a tautly compelling, deeply probing reconstruction of events surrounding the gruesome deaths of Julie Helgeson and Michele Koons. Even more than that, it is a gripping and moving tragedy of the great Grizzlies' inexorable extermination at the hands of the most deadly animal of all - the creature called man.
