It soon becomes clear that something dangerous is going on .
Tracy senses that Jesse Goodwin is hiding something, but she can\'t warn her father without explaining about the attack--or why she\'s kept it to herself.
Then a mysterious wanderer appears, looking for a job.
Helping her father cope with her mother\'s death and prepare for the approaching Iditarod, she doesn\'t have time to think about what she may have done.
Was this the man who attacked her and did she almost kill him? With her memories of the events jumbled, Tracy can\'t be sure.
The next day, she glimpses an eerily familiar man emerge from the tree line, gravely injured from a vicious knife wound--a wound from a hunting knife similar to the one she carries in her pocket.
But these precautions aren\'t enough to protect Tracy when a stranger attacks her in the woods and knocks her unconscious.
And, above all else, Never Make a Person Bleed.
Never Come Home with Dirty Hands.
Though she feels safe in this untamed land, Tracy still follows her late mother\'s rules: Never Lose Sight of the House.
