Title: Midnight sun
First published: 2000
Description: "Looking for thrills and some easy money, two itinerant construction workers, Jack and Burke, agree to help a desperate father rescue his daughter from a strange millennial cult for a fee of ten thousand dollars. Their quest takes them into the most dangerous territory on the continent - the dark woods of Alaska.".

"Jack and Burke swiftly and excruciatingly learn that their rescue-the-girl mission is anything but a walk in the woods for a large chunk of money. Face to face with the disfigured cult leader, they discover that the stakes are much higher, involving a deadly grizzly bear and large amounts of newly mined gold.

Jack, initially less confident than the hard-ass Burke, finds himself assuming control of the expedition as they move deeper and deeper into the bush and every decision becomes a question of life or death."--BOOK JACKET.
