SynopsisIn the wilderness of Montana's Big Sky country, a young woman Olympic athlete, Kari Swenson, was kidnapped at gun point while on a training run. Searchers found her chained to a tree and guarded by two 'mountain men, ' Don and Dan Nichols, father and son who had left civilization a dozen years before. In the ensuing confrontation, Kari was badly wounded by the younger Nichols and a rescuer was coldly shot and killed before the Nicholses made their escape, leaving Kari behind. The manhunt that followed featured FBI teams, helicopters, electronic aids, and massive manpower. In the end it was Johnny France, the local sheriff, who had spearheaded the search for months and who finally, by chance, tracked them down alone. He faced them in a real-life Clint Eastwood scene, and brought them in. What lay behind this crime? What sort of man was Sheriff Johnny France? What really happened up there in Spanish Peaks? It is all here in a bizarre and fascinating tale, told by the one man who knows it all, Incident at Big Sky describes the kidnapping of Kari Swenson by a mountain man and his son, and recounts the police search for the two., In the wilderness of Montana's Big Sky country, a young woman Olympic athlete, Kari Swenson, was kidnapped at gun point while on a training run.

Excellent story and writing.
I heard about this book while wintering in Apache Junction AZ. I happened to meet the author, Johnny France, who was a Montana County Sherriff when the events of this true story took place in the 1980's. Kari Swenson was an Olympic Biathlon Competitor and was training near Ennis MT. at Big Sky. She was kidnapped by a father/son team of self styled mountain men. Kari was shot when amateur rescue searchers approached the trio the day after her abduction. She was found and helicoptered to a hospital and survived. One of the rescuers was killed. This story is about the almost one year of effort to capture the kidnappers.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
