Snoqualmie Pass Summary
| The wealthy, sophisticated and handsome New England College of Art Professor, Beck Mitchell, has just made the mistake of his life. He's unwittingly insulted an underworld kingpin and now the don, Maurice, "Maw" DiFazio, is out to salve his honor with Beck's blood. After a hit attempt in which Beck is wounded in the face, he panicks, and, bleeding and disfigured, flees his swanky Providence, Rhode Island penthouse and catches the first plane out of town. He winds up in Seattle, rents a car and heads for the hills to lay low and lick his wounds. But there's a blizzard blowing up in the Cascade Mountains-the worst in twenty years, and Beck's wound is festering. He's feverish, delirious, and in all the wind and snow, he becomes lost and runs his rental car off the road. Soon, he's picked up by a couple of men in a beat-up van who take him to their isolated, broken-down farmhouse. There, he is held captive by a heavily armed right-wing militia group calling itself the Sons of Freedom. Calvin, the paranoid, leader of the Sons of Freedom, suspects Beck is a government agent and puts him on trial for espionage. The high, lonely Cascade Mountains of Washington State are locked deep in the frigid grip of February, but things have turned plenty hot for Beck. Two stone-cold mob soldiers have tracked Beck to the militia headquarters with orders to kill him in the most extravagant way possible. But the extra-chromosome, extra-xenophobic Calvin and his fellow militiamen are not about to let a couple of hoods from the big city take their prisoner from them. It's white supremacist dogma versus Mafioso honor. Beck will have to lay aside his mantle of refinement and get down and dirty with the rest of the boys. He's helped along the way by a Northwest Native American shaman and the lithe Jaz Reilly, a beautiful young bounty hunter.

SNOQUALMIE PASS is a flat-out action adventure tale told with a gritty edge in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. SNOQUALMIE PASS is fast-paced and darkly funny and offers up more twists and turns than a Cascade Mountain highway. For more information visit . |
