riveting read.
Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming returns in a stunning
new thriller from the #1 New York Times–bestselling
author.
When a skier goes missing at Sun
Valley’s Galena Summit, Sheriff Walt Fleming quickly
assembles his crack search-and-rescue team and heads out
into the snowy night. Despite the treacherous conditions,
Walt and his group, including deputy Tommy Brandon and
Walt’s best friend, Mark Aker, set off on skis,
accompanied by highly trained search dogs. Within minutes,
something goes horribly wrong: a shot rings out, and one
of their team is dead. By morning, Mark Aker has
disappeared.
Torn between professional
responsibility and the desperate urge to find his friend,
Walt is further challenged by an unexplained illness at a
local water-bottling plant that sends workers to the
hospital and sets off biohazard warnings. Following
threads of questionable evidence through the glitter of
Sun Valley leads Walt to an unlikely—and darker—source,
and reveals a crime played out on a much larger scale than
he originally envisioned. Waist-deep in snow and knee-deep
in lies, the life of his friend in the balance, Walt
begins to suspect that the whole operation is controlled
by people of great wealth and power, which leaves him
where he started: out in the cold.
From adrenaline-
charged start to explosive finish, Killer View is
heart-stopping suspense at its very best.
