Smoke Jensen sat in a cave and boiled the last of his coffee. He figured he was in Idaho--somewhere south of Montpelier--but he was certain about only two things: he was cold and he was being hunted by a small army of men. Smoke knew why he was cold--it was winter. He just didn't have a clear idea of why anyone was after him.
