A wildlife biologist’s shocking death leads to chilling
discoveries about a home for troubled teens in Christine
Carbo’s haunting and compelling new crime novel set in
the wilds of Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park police officer Monty Harris knows
that each summer at least one person—be it a reckless,
arrogant climber or a distracted hiker—will meet tragedy
in the park. But Paul “Wolfie” Sedgewick’s fatal fall
from the sheer cliffs near Going-To-the-Sun Road is
incomprehensible. Wolfie was an experienced and highly
regarded wildlife biologist who knew all too well the
perils that Glacier’s treacherous terrain presents—and
how to avoid them. The case, so close to home, has frayed park employee
emotions. Yet calm and methodical lead investigator Monty
senses in his gut that something isn’t right. So when
whispers of irresponsibility or suicide emerge,
tarnishing Wolfie’s reputation, Monty dedicates himself
to uncovering the truth, for the sake of the man’s family
and to satisfy his own persistent sense of unease. Monty discovers that Wolfie’s zealous studies of
Glacier’s mysterious, embattled wolverine population, so
vital to park ecology, had met resistance, both local and
federal. To muddy the waters further, a wilderness
facility for rehabilitating troubled teens—one that
Monty’s older brother attended—may have a disturbing
connection to the case. As Monty delves further into an
investigation that goes deeper than he ever imagined, he
wrestles with the demons of his past, which lead back to
harsh betrayals he thought he’d buried long ago. And then a second body is found.
