Miss Pink is making her way through the Rockies alone in winter, with her jeep as base camp for her mountaineering assaults on the peaks. It is tough going, not least when Miss Pink meets a grizzly bear, upright and threatening, ready to kill with the swipe of a paw. In Cougar Canyon, she has come to the Logan ranch to join her friend Seale. The closest neighbours of the Logans are the Trotters who make an illicit living killing protected species of wildlife, and the Farrells who have a run-down 'dude ranch'. When corpses start to be found, can the killings really be blamed on the grizzly bears?
