A retired sheriff's office lieutenant, Cam Richter (of Cat Dancers fame) goes out to western North Carolina to help a park ranger find out who viciously assaulted one of their probationers. In the process, he encounters the murderous Creigh clan, who live up on Book Mountain, a place the locals have renamed Spider Mountain. The Creigh's operate a mountain smuggling ring, making and moving meth-amphetamine, grass, moonshine, and any other kind of illegal substance for profit. The leader of the clan is an old woman called Grinny Creigh, who, together with her very strange son, Nathan, and her brother, the Sheriff of Robbins County, operates a hideous sideline. Richter ultimately finds himself at war with the Creigh's and their political allies in Robbins County while uncovering lethal treachery in the local law enforcement structure. The story becomes a tense race against time and nature to save the Creigh's next victims from a terrible fate.
