Bookroo's summary

In the flatlands of the Texas Panhandle, Slim's claim of a bear sighting stirs disbelief until Deputy Kile confirms the threat. With a bear prowling Ochiltree County, the ranch's Security Force, led by Hank, springs into action. Can Hank protect the ranch from this unexpected danger, or will the bear prove too cunning? As tension rises, the line between myth and reality blurs, leaving everyone on edge. Will the ranch survive the bear's rampage, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?

From the publisher

Everyone knows that bears live in the mountains and there are no mountains in the Texas Panhandle. So, when Slim claims to have seen a bear cross the road, no one knows what to believe, that is, until Deputy Kile spreads a report that there really is a bear on the loose in Ochiltree County! With news like this, the ranch’s Security Force goes on Red Alert. Will Hank be able to defend the ranch from a raging, prowling bear?
