Flight from Fear Lesley June Mooney

A family adventure-mystery drama, set in the snow covered Canadian forest. After a plane crashes, a Grandfather Frank Benders and his two teenage grandchildren are disturbed at night by desperate banging on the cabin door. When opened, a dramatic story of mystery and danger is revealed, involving this injured, blood covered visitor. They later find out he is Gabe Huntley, an accountant and ex-pilot with a mysterious, bizarre disorder affecting his brain and memory. When recovering, he forces a hostage situation and leaves. Police, Trackers and Insurance Investigators search through the wild forests of the Canadian National Park for him and his hostage, encountering dangerous bears, and wolf packs. After the girl has a' run in' with a mountain cougar, Gabe is again badly savaged by wolves, and his hostage almost freezes in the ice covered canyon waters, then they disappear. The grandson, a friend and their eagle continue searching through the thick forest, first without success. When found, blinded and wounded, later in hospital Gabe needs only the only one whose voice he knows. A combination of suspense, surprising twists, a revelation and an enigma which occur later on.
