Description

<p>Terrified California residents face the shocking dilemma of yet another serial killer roaming freely in their neighborhoods. However, this time it is an evolving serial killer anomaly that relentlessly searches for, hunts down, and ingeniously traps his victims before unleashing his fiery rage. Always two steps ahead of the cops and fire investigators, the killer hones in on the next sinful target leaving a trail of bones and ashes behind as evidence. It rocks the criminal justice system to the core as a string of arson murders hits inside their turf.</p><p>Vigilante detective Emily Stone hunts serial killers and child abductors, covertly and under the law enforcement radar, with her intrinsic skills of criminal profiling and forensic investigation. With Stone’s toughest case yet, the arson serial killer immediately crosses her radar and sends her into the dark territory of a lethal pyromaniac’s mind – to the point of no return.</p><p>While following the clues of the relentless firebomber, Stone grabs the attention of a government anti-terrorist organization called GATE that oversees all law enforcement cases across the U.S., which now focuses their sights on her proven abilities. They have very specific plans for her, whether she likes it or not.</p><p>Everything teeters on the edge of reality, as Stone must battle for her life between a hired assassin and an arson serial killer. Lines are drawn on both sides of the law. Friendships and lovers are tested.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Years ago my husband and I went camping in the high woods of Washington State, at a campground called Swan Lake. The autumn winds stirred the tall pines and snow fell fitfully amongst the red and gold leaves. A million whispers filled the air and stirred the hair on the back of my neck. It wasn't hard to imagine that something ghostly...evil, hid in the shadows. Thus, The Hunt was born.

Brian hunts and Holly stays at camp reading and relaxing. Roger Atley has been a forest ranger in Swan Valley for a number of years; he enjoys his job and has a good life with his wife and kids. Harley Truefeather is an Indian spirit-walker and Roger's best friend. <br /><br />Raul Stannard is a full blood vampire, an outcast from his race he and his rag-tag band of followers have been terrorizing humans from Canada down the west coast of America. Raphael Goldhawk is the half-blood king of the High Vampire Council and is responsible for Raul being cast out of their society. Raphael is determined to put an end to Raul's reign of terror, Raul is determined to kill Raphael and once again join the council. Thus, the hunt begins; humans and vampires alike will be tested to their very limits. <br /><br />Get ready for a power struggle as old as time, good versus evil, a set of cruel circumstances that brings a group of people as different as day and night into the fray, a test of love and friendship and a setting that is as much dangerous and it is beautiful. <br /><br />This is not your ordinary fluffy, feel good vampire novel. It is dark and dangerous, full of terrifying scenes and just as terrifying evil. From the very first sentence, you are pulled into the action and it does not end until the book does. You are involved in the story, whether you are willing or not, with descriptions that are so real you shiver from the cold of the snow and feel the emotions of the characters. There is enough of the back-story for each player in the story so that you are able to understand exactly why they react as they do. <br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised at how well written and edited this book was. I started the book while eating my lunch, the very first scene is a little gory, and I actually had to stop eating my lunch it was so vivid. This was not a bad thing, just a testament as to how well written the imagery is. This is a different take on the vampire genre; no beautiful sexy vampires that make you swoon. Instead, there are beautiful creatures that make you shiver. <br /><br />My only complaint (and what kept this from being five stars) was the fact that we are bounced between characters and time-periods with each chapter. This is not an easy thing to do for even the most seasoned author, and while I give Ms. Jeppsen props for how well she actually did the transitions, it was still a bit confusing at times. I would just be getting into the chapter and the characters, and off we would go to a different one. That one complaint aside, I look forward to what Ms. Jeppsen might have for us in the future. She is definitely an author to look out for. Be aware, there is some slightly graphic violence, but it fits into the story, just don't read while eating. I recommend this book to readers of the vampire genre who want something a little more dark and intense. <br /><br />Member of the Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team <br /><br /><div style="width:100%;clear:both;padding-top:10px;"> <div style="padding-right:15px;float:left;border-right:#cccccc 1px solid;"> <div style="padding-bottom:5px;"><strong style="white-space:nowrap;color:#666666;" class="tiny">Help other customers find the most helpful reviews</strong> </div> <div style="width:300px;"><a style="font-size:1px;"></a><span class="crVotingButtons"><span class="votingPrompt">Was this review helpful to you? </span><a class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1CXGBACX8K3QG/Helpful/1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=64A81F962E4D78611E0A938E24335643D0DC274B&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R1CXGBACX8K3QG.2115.Helpful.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349"><span class="cmtySprite s_largeYes"><span>Yes</span></span></a> <a class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1CXGBACX8K3QG/Helpful/-1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=F3320A8CFBB27ECE2BCBA04EF8309CFF832E65AF&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R1CXGBACX8K3QG.2115.Helpful.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349"><span class="cmtySprite s_largeNo"><span>No</span></span></a><span class="votingMessage"></span></span></div></div> <div style="float:left;"> <div style="padding-left:15px;"> <div style="white-space:nowrap;"><span class="tiny"><a style="font-size:1px;"></a><span class="reportingButton"><a class="reportingButton" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1CXGBACX8K3QG/Inappropriate/1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=C6BFF91932649898AE24BA97D95F461A89061020&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R1CXGBACX8K3QG.2115.Inappropriate.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349">Report abuse</a></span> </span><span style="color:#cccccc;">|</span> <span class="tiny"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1CXGBACX8K3QG/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=">Permalink</a></span></div> <div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-top:5px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1CXGBACX8K3QG/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=#wasThisHelpful"><span class="swSprite s_comment"><span>Comment</span></span></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1CXGBACX8K3QG/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=#wasThisHelpful">Comment</a></div></div></div> <div style="clear:both;"></div></div><br /></div><a></a><br /><div style="margin-left:.5em;"> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;">1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Review: The hunt by Linell Jeppsen</strong>, July 7, 2011</span> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div> <div style="float:left;">By </div> <div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A1W26WPZRVSARA/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">jewel fan</span></a> -

Kudos Linell, I look forward to seeing more of your stories in print. <div style="width:100%;clear:both;padding-top:10px;"> <div style="padding-right:15px;float:left;border-right:#cccccc 1px solid;"> <div style="padding-bottom:5px;"><strong style="white-space:nowrap;color:#666666;" class="tiny">Help other customers find the most helpful reviews</strong> </div> <div style="width:300px;"><a style="font-size:1px;"></a><span class="crVotingButtons"><span class="votingPrompt">Was this review helpful to you? </span><a class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL/Helpful/1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=1753DC3C66B8F4CC7CFEEB21407D0B503A62C758&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL.2115.Helpful.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349"><span class="cmtySprite s_largeYes"><span>Yes</span></span></a> <a class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL/Helpful/-1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=CC0F63990566BD33739D52D8031FD35DF50B48AE&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL.2115.Helpful.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349"><span class="cmtySprite s_largeNo"><span>No</span></span></a><span class="votingMessage"></span></span></div></div> <div style="float:left;"> <div style="padding-left:15px;"> <div style="white-space:nowrap;"><span class="tiny"><a style="font-size:1px;"></a><span class="reportingButton"><a class="reportingButton" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL/Inappropriate/1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=50DEECB4C27D972AD8E79F68264B974FA684E0FC&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL.2115.Inappropriate.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349">Report abuse</a></span> </span><span style="color:#cccccc;">|</span> <span class="tiny"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=">Permalink</a></span></div> <div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-top:5px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=#wasThisHelpful"><span class="swSprite s_comment"><span>Comment</span></span></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EN6JQ3PWJKZL/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=#wasThisHelpful">Comment</a></div></div></div> <div style="clear:both;"></div></div><br /></div><a></a><br /><div style="margin-left:.5em;"> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;">1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>A very entertaining read - a review by Jonathon Waterman - author of the Kindle eBook, The Question</strong>, May 22, 2011</span> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div> <div style="float:left;">By </div> <div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A11SXWJ5NHPDT8/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">JW</span></a> (Greensboro, NC) - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A11SXWJ5NHPDT8/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview">See all my reviews</a></div></div> <div style="clear:both;"></div></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;" class="tiny"><strong><span class="h3color tiny">This review is from: </span>The Hunt (Paperback)</strong> </div>With the storyline taking place in Washington State, The Hunt provides a very entertaining read. Linell Jeppsen does an expert job at bringing her characters alive - including the vampire, even though this is no way near your run of the mill vampire story. Just ask the spirit walker. <br /><br />In reading this story, I found that the storyline so engaging, many a time, I found it easy to forget I was reading a novel instead watching movie playing out in my mind.

It now lives in my mind. I know these people. They are not just characters on a page; they are fleshed out, real just like you and me. It is not the usual 'vampire' story. Linell Jeppsen has given us a story of new friends, people you would like to know. (And some that you have to hate.) Primarily, you will meet Brian and his wife, Holly, Roger, a forest ranger and his friend Harley who is a spirit walker and of course exquisitely, handsome Raphael, a modern day vampire. As you learn of their lives you find that they will have something in common. I laughed, loved, cheered, hated and cried. Only an expert story teller can surface so much emotion in a reader. I did not want the book to end and I cried for my friends that have gone on without me. I hope Ms. Jeppsen writes another novel about the people in THE HUNT because to me they still live, somewhere. <br /><br /><div style="width:100%;clear:both;padding-top:10px;"> <div style="padding-right:15px;float:left;border-right:#cccccc 1px solid;"> <div style="padding-bottom:5px;"><strong style="white-space:nowrap;color:#666666;" class="tiny">Help other customers find the most helpful reviews</strong> </div> <div style="width:300px;"><a style="font-size:1px;"></a><span class="crVotingButtons"><span class="votingPrompt">Was this review helpful to you? </span><a class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R2EA54Q17RKJGG/Helpful/1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=9F822BBA3BD6A25D6246082E1448BD737F50DC39&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R2EA54Q17RKJGG.2115.Helpful.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349"><span class="cmtySprite s_largeYes"><span>Yes</span></span></a> <a class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R2EA54Q17RKJGG/Helpful/-1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=2AD8E684B5F33EBBEA5080510312C5463704C324&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R2EA54Q17RKJGG.2115.Helpful.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349"><span class="cmtySprite s_largeNo"><span>No</span></span></a><span class="votingMessage"></span></span></div></div> <div style="float:left;"> <div style="padding-left:15px;"> <div style="white-space:nowrap;"><span class="tiny"><a style="font-size:1px;"></a><span class="reportingButton"><a class="reportingButton" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R2EA54Q17RKJGG/Inappropriate/1/ref=cm_cr_prvoteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;token=53F3898A976D22C242926C32E586936363C147D4&amp;target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Jldmlldy8xNDYxMDcyMTMxL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9wcnZvdGVyZHI_X2VuY29kaW5nPVVURjgmc2hvd1ZpZXdwb2ludHM9MSZzb3J0Qnk9YnlTdWJtaXNzaW9uRGF0ZURlc2NlbmRpbmc&amp;voteAnchorName=R2EA54Q17RKJGG.2115.Inappropriate.Reviews&amp;voteSessionID=187-6834311-7957349">Report abuse</a></span> </span><span style="color:#cccccc;">|</span> <span class="tiny"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2EA54Q17RKJGG/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=">Permalink</a></span></div> <div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-top:5px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2EA54Q17RKJGG/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=#wasThisHelpful"><span class="swSprite s_comment"><span>Comment</span></span></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2EA54Q17RKJGG/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1461072131&amp;nodeID=&amp;tag=&amp;linkCode=#wasThisHelpful">Comment</a></div></div></div> <div style="clear:both;"></div></div><br /></div><a></a><br /><div style="margin-left:.5em;"> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;">7 of 8 people found the following review helpful: </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Wow!</strong>, April 17, 2011</span> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div> <div style="float:left;">By </div> <div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AV22VMQIGW06K/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Lori Little</span></a> - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AV22VMQIGW06K/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview">See all my reviews</a></div></div> <div style="clear:both;"></div></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;" class="tiny"><span class="crVerifiedStripe"><strong style="margin-right:.5em;" class="h3Color tiny">Amazon Verified Purchase</strong><span class="tiny verifyWhatsThis">(<a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase">What's this?</a>)</span></span> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;" class="tiny"><strong><span class="h3color tiny">This review is from: </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Hunt-ebook/dp/B004VF7BJS/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj">The Hunt (Kindle Edition)</a></strong> </div>I was caught up in this strange and wonderful story immediately, high in the forests of northeastern Washington State, with mysterious deaths at a remote campground. I couldn't put it down. Equal parts history, magic and suspense, THE HUNT is a novel of surprising scope. With a scholar's depth and the deft touch of a great storyteller, Linell Jeppsen has woven a gripping vampire tale of passion and perseverance, bravery and loss. Even so, the vampires are secondary to the resilience of the human spirit in this story. If you want a fast moving vampire story with a little more meat on its bones than the usual, try THE HUNT. <div style="width:100%;clear:both;padding-top:10px;"> <div style="clear:both;"></div></div><br /></div></td> <td width="10%"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table class="CMheadingBar" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-left:4px;padding-right:4px;" height="16" align="left"><br /></td> <td style="padding-right:4px;" height="16" align="right"> <div style="white-space:nowrap;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hunt-Linell-Jeppsen/product-reviews/1461072131/ref=cm_cr_pr_btm_helpful?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=0">Most Helpful First</a> | <strong class="on">Newest First</strong> </div></td></tr></tbody></table><div> <div class="listsPopoverContents"> <ul class="listsPopoverUl"><li class="listsPopoverLi listsPopoverLiPreHr"><span class="listsPopoverContentsHeader"><strong><font color="#e47911" size="2">All Lists &amp; Registries</font></strong></span> </li> <li class="listsPopoverLi listsPopoverLiPostHr"><span class="arrow"><font color="#e47911">›</font></span> <a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=gno_listpop_wi"><font color="#004b91">Wish List</font></a> </li> <li class="listsPopoverLi"><span class="arrow"><font color="#e47911">›</font></span> <a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/registry/quicklist/ref=gno_listpop_ql"><font color="#004b91">Quicklist</font></a> </li> <li class="listsPopoverLi"><span class="arrow"><font color="#e47911">›</font></span> <a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/rsl/shoppinglist/yourshoppinglist/ref=gno_listpop_sl"><font color="#004b91">Shopping List</font></a> </li> <li class="listsPopoverLi listsPopoverLiPreHr"><span class="arrow"><font color="#e47911">›</font></span> <a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/gift-central/organizer/ref=gno_listpop_gil"><font color="#004b91">Gift Organizer</font></a> </li> <li class="listsPopoverLi listsPopoverLiPostHr"><span class="arrow"><font color="#e47911">›</font></span> <a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/registry/wedding/ref=gno_listpop_wr"><font color="#004b91">Wedding Registry</font></a> </li> <li class="listsPopoverLi listsPopoverLiPreHr"><span class="arrow"><font color="#e47911">›</font></span> <a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/registry/baby/ref=gno_listpop_br"><font color="#004b91">Baby Registry</font></a> </li> <li class="listsPopoverLi listsPopoverLiPostHr"><span class="arrow"><font color="#e47911">›</font></span> <a href="http://www.freado.com/gp/remembers/ref=gno_listpop_ar"><font color="#004b91">Amazon Remembers</font></a> </li> </ul></div></div> <div class="navNoDisplay"> <div class="navbar navSaJs"> <ul class="navSaMenu"><li class="navSaMenuItem navSaMenuItemTop"> <div class="navSaChild"> <ul class="navbar navSaChild"><li class="navSaChildItem"> <div class="navSprite navSaChildOrangeArrow"></div></li> </ul></div></li> </ul></div></div>
