Mists of the Couchsacrage: Rescue from State Land Alden L. Dumas

Unique among books about the famous Adirondack Park of New York State, Mists of the Couchsacrage is an exciting action adventure tale involving a remote wet land area on restricted state land, a plane crash involving a very important passenger, a severe ice storm, and the travails of a four person rescue party as they struggle to get to any survivors. Interesting characters are everywhere, with lots of entertaining dialogue. Rescuers include a bitter guide, an environmentally conscious forest ranger, a tough policewoman from the city, and a drunken medic with horrible memories. Caught also in the ice storm is a gang of desperate drug runners, crossing the icy morass to escape scenes of unspeakable crimes. Plane crash survivors, the rescue party, and a band of heartless killers: stories interwoven in the deadly frozen marsh! Who will come out alive?
