Atlanta's hottest assistant district attorney, Mary Crow (she's half Cherokee), has just made it six-for-six in murder convictions with her defeat of Calhoun "Handsome Cal" Whitman, and is heading home to Little Jump Off, North Carolina, for a hiking vacation with pals Alexandra McCrimmon and Joan Marchetti. It's been 12 years since the unresolved rape and murder of Mary's mother, and she's looking forward to making her first trip back home in the company of friends. But though it begins well, it soon turns very, very bad:Joan felt the shadow first. A small interstice of darkness fell across the bright sunlight that bathed her face. A cloud, she thought. But the chill did not move. Reluctantly she opened her eyes to see what was obstructing the light that had just a moment ago warmed her so deliciously. A colossus stood above her. Its face blocked the sun, and she could see nothing but a black shape haloed with a corona of blinding light.What fills the remaining pages is nothing short of harrowing: stalking, chasing, raping, kidnapping, and murder at the hands of not one, but two very different but equally dangerous madmen. One is a deranged mountain man who's been haunting the hills for years, and another's motivation is darker and more personal.
What Sallie Bissell has done so well with in In the Forest of Harm might have easily turned into a Deliverance-meets-"Charlie's Angels" farce in the hands of a lesser writer. Indeed, while there are echoes of Dickey's Deliverance and strains of Sharyn McCrumb's She Walks These Hills --near poetic phrasing, ringing depictions of a majestic Southern wilderness, crisp characterizations, bow-taut suspense--Bissell's words are surely her own. All suspense novels should be this good; that this one is a debut novel is a little scary. --Michael Hudson

Attorney Mary Crow is quarry in this novel. Quarry plain and simple. It would be impossible to describe to you the level of tension behind the innocent-looking cover of this novel. Mary and two of her friends go for a camping trip in the Nantahala National Forest after Mary has just won a conviction against a very bad man in court. After Mary her her two friends get to Nantahala, violence erupts. A hideously ugly and filthy man beats and rapes Alex and leaves Mary's other friend for dead, after kidnapping Alex. Mary and her other friend go looking for Alex.
Enter the rapist-murderer that Mary just battled in court.
He begins pursuit of Mary in the Nantahala. So, not only does she have the vicious man who brutally raped and beat and kidnapped her friend, she also has another very dangerous man on her trail. This book is full of non-stop action, written by an incomparable writer who is not afraid to let her heroines get hurt. (She's kind of like Ridley Pearson or Tami Hoag in this regard). Unlike the romance novelist heroines who come out of the battle with nary a scratch marring their mooncalf features.
Read this book. It is incredible, astonishing, disturbing.
Enter At Your Own Risk.......2002-12-09
Events are stitched together by awkward exposition: "Mary slid to the ground beside Joan and told her that the barefoot man kept snakes and traps and a curious collection of souvenirs; that Alex had been tied up but that she was alive; that Mary had fallen into a snakepit kept by Ulagu. She did not, however, reveal to Joan that the barefoot man may well have beaten Alex to death just minutes ago."
There are some admirable descriptions of nature here and there, and the pace is nonstop. But too often the story comes across as a gross-out version of "The Perils of Pauline," in which it is no longer enough to lash Pauline to the train tracks; no, first she must be beaten (especially about the face), tortured, and raped.
Why did I finish the thing? A friend, disturbed by the book, asked me to read it; she was especially bothered by the ending. I slogged through, but under normal circumstances, I'd never have made it to the end of the first chapter.
