Tracker: A Fox Walker Novel

Award-Winning Book One of the Fox Walker Novels

• A mysterious woman surviving in the wilderness with no memory of her past and a torso riddled with scars.
• A killer who’s desperate to find her and finish what he started.
• And a man who’s determined to protect her at any cost.

Loner and expert tracker, Fox Walker, has been apprenticed since early childhood in the ancient Native American skills of survival. After rumors surface about someone—or something—living in a nearby forest, the local Sheriff asks for his help in uncovering the truth. Much to Walker’s surprise, what he discovers is a mysterious young woman living as a primitive deep in the Colorado wilderness. She has a torso covered with intricate scars, no memory of her past, no desire to be rescued, and no reason to trust Walker, despite his willingness to help her.

When her remarkable story is made public, the killer responsible for her emotional and physical damage knows he must track her down and complete his ritual. Determined not to let that happen, Walker soon finds himself in the midst of an FBI manhunt, where he’s called upon to use all his unique skills and wisdom to save the intriguing and misunderstood Woman of the Wilderness … a woman Walker eventually discovers is more than who she appears to be.

Dennis Crosby Interviews Indy 

Here’s an orchestral rock piece my friend, Austin Farmer, wrote inspired by the novel TRACKER. Listen to Track #3 to hear how Austin imagined Fox Walker’s journey, running through Gray’s Forest alongside Nataya. I encourage you to listen to the entire album and let Austin know if you enjoyed his sound tracks for novels on this album! I’m honored he chose TRACKER to be one of them! 

BOOK REVIEWS

“Debut author Indy Quillen bursts onto the fiction stage with Tracker, a compelling psychological thriller certain to dazzle readers. Rich characterization, brisk pacing, graceful writing, and an in-depth knowledge of Native American spirituality and survival skills hallmark this novel. Even better, this is book one in a series. I’m hooked!”

— LAURA TAYLOR, 6-Time Romantic Times Award Winner and 2-Time MAGGIE Award Winner

“Mystery readers should love Indy Quillen’s Tracker. Fox Walker is a Ute who tries to live as his ancestors did. He runs a wilderness survival school, and is asked by the local sheriff to track down a “ghost” in the San Juan foothills. It is not a ghost that Walker discovers, but a flesh and blood young woman. He also discovers trouble. It soon becomes clear that this mysterious woman whose stomach is rife with scars has a history with a notorious serial murderer. Indy Quillen offers a captivating read with an engaging protagonist. There are twists and turns aplenty in Tracker, a book that is both action-filled and didactic.”

— ALAN RUSSELL, Bestselling author of BURNING MAN

“In most suspense novels, the protagonist must face off against a worthy opponent. In Tracker, the hero, Fox Walker, faces adversity in his interactions with almost everyone: the police he’s trying to help; the killer he’s on the trail of; even the lovely woman whose skills on the hunt are matched only by the mystery of her origins. When all these trails converge, the results are pure excitement.”

— MARK A. CLEMENTS, Award Winning author of THE LAND OF NOD & LORELEI

“Tony Hillerman’s legacy goes to the next level in Indy Quillen’s rich debut, Tracker. Part Rambo, part Joe Leaphorn, and Jim Chee, Quillen’s Fox Walker proves himself to be a formidable hero. I look forward to seeing more of him!”

— MATTHEW J. PALLAMARY, International Award Winning author of SPIRIT MATTERS & LAND WITHOUT EVIL
