Mystery | Suspense
The gripping debut thriller featuring attorney-turned-
fishing-guide
Jake Trent, whose idyllic life is upended by a series of
grisly
killings.
Early summer in Jackson, Wyoming, finds former East Coast
prosecutor Jake Trent wading through a swift current of
local
politics, introspection, and tragedy. After leaving law
behind,
Jake escaped big-city life to pursue his dream: setting up
as a
fishing guide and opening a small bed-and-breakfast in the
West.
Now three seemingly unrelated deaths have occurred in one
day,
unheard of in the scenic valley of Jackson Hole,
disrupting Jake's
contented new life. A skier perishes in a freak late-
season
avalanche. A French couple is discovered mutilated,
presumably by a
bear, on a remote trail in Grand Teton National Park. On
the Snake
River, Jake himself finds the body of an expensively
attired
tourist fisherman.
Meanwhile, a series of small earthquakes, not to mention a
bitter
dispute between land developers and a cultlike group of
environmentalists, has left the townspeople uneasy. Before
long,
the plausible explanations for each death dissolve. Could
there be
a sinister connection among them? When fresh evidence
points to him
as a suspect, Jake Trent is put on the defensive. Is
someone out to
frame him? Can Jake keep the demons from his past at bay
while he
tries to discover the truth behind the mysterious deaths?
Defying the police, Jake teams up with beautiful park
ranger Noelle
Klimpton to get to the bottom of this series of disturbing
events.
The trail leads right to the region's crown-jewel
attraction:
Yellowstone. What they discover will put both their lives
at risk.
Death Canyon marks the debut of David Riley Bertsch, a
major new
talent in suspense fiction --
