National Park Ranger Anna Pigeon has arrived at her new post in Colorado in the Rocky Mountain National Park. She is one tough woman and she'll need all of her stamina for this job, stamina and strength she wasn't expecting to need. Three young girls have been missing and in spite of thorough searches of the park, have not been found until the day two of them stumble out of the woods into Wiley, a most welcoming dog. The girls have a dazed look, disheveled, unfed, non-communicative, and very frightened. Wiley's owner, Heath Jarrod, is wheelchair bound following a tragic climbing accident. She's angry and depressed by the new life confined to a chair. One of the girls is immediately drawn to Heath and Heath finds herself concerned and caring for the girls, especially Beth.
The girls' parents are contacted, they are elated, but will not permit the girls to speak with authorities at all. In fact, the girls are from a religious cult that keeps them cloistered in the compound. Anna and Heath learn the girls were on a camping trip with a trusted member of their religious cult when they were lured away by a serial killer working as a park ranger.
As these two situations unfold and become intertwined, the suspense builds. Anna is not aware, as the new supervising ranger, that one of her junior rangers can not be trusted. Against the backdrop of all that nature offers in a national park setting, you will connect with these characters as they face unimaginable peril.
