"It happened at the time of the year the hawks move over. Charles 'Grat' Gratton, world-roving professional photographer, accepts an assignment of his editors to photograph the hawk flight in a wilderness piece of West Virginia mountains, hoping to escape his own tensions. There, peering through his binoculars from Sleepy Creek Mountain, he sees something neither he nor any other man was meant to witness and finds death staring back at him". A story "that moves as relentlessly as a hawk closing in on its kill ...a story of beautiful pale hazel eyes with the faraway look of Butcher Boy, the falcon they control; of Yoke Gairdner, the rector of Fairfax springs". Murder, mystery and a ravishingly beautiful falconer in this Red Badge Detective mystery from 1950's America.
