Similar to the Most Dangerous Game?
I am looking for a novel that is similar to The Most Dangerous Game. I remember it had crosshairs on the cover. Also, at one point the largest character was being chased through a desert and he have to cling naked to a rock. Anyone know?

Deathwatch by Robb White
young hunting guide Ben becomes human prey after witnessing his hard-boiled client Madec accidentally shoot an infirm prospector. Instead of dispatching Ben summarily, Madec releases his victim (naked, unarmed and without food or water) -- giving him at least a "sporting" opening to escape being shot and providing an excuse for Ben to stage a novel-length demonstration of physical stamina, cunning and survival savvy. Of course when Ben finally outwits Madec and makes his way pay for to town, there's still the problem of convincing the sheriff that Madec, not he, is the guilty one, but readers who have managed to go through this test of endurance thus far will have beyond a shadow of a doubt about the outcome. (Kirkus Reviews, May 1, 1972)
The main character Ben, is hired by a man name Madec as a hunting guide. Madec is hunting for big horn sheep in the Southwest. Ben doesn't like Madec, and isn't looking forward to the trip. However Madec pays well and Ben wants the money for his next year of college. Something goes wrong during the hunt and Ben ends up in a fracas for survival against Madec.

Question around nickname?
I have a nice nickname picked out for a character contained by my book: Lucy. The book is set in around 1810 London. The problem is that I don't want Lucy to be her full name, but I can't think of a really apposite name for her. Her last name is Kennedy, if it help. Something along the lines of...
