Her father, a marine, is typically away on a distant mission. Callan’s mother is practically catatonic with depression, yet her grandfather is dedicated to her teen growth and wellbeing.On the river Callan is pitted against: Sonny Turner; released from the Everglades Correctional Institution. Cory Turner: Sonny’s son, determined to convince Sonny to stay straight. Clarence Whitman: Sergeant Inspector, suspicious of Callan’s motives. Keme Conchae: Cree tracker in the Waasaashkaa River territory, and Mr. Anonymous: Mastermind with such dedication to detail the staples in his typewritten plans are always parallel to the edge of the paper, and a wolf.
