Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has had enough of the big city
and the daily grind. She grew up with her father, who raised
search-and-rescue dogs, in rural Texas and has moved to the
small town of Cuervo to spend time in the dry, rugged
wilderness near Big Bend National Park. When she and her
dog, Huck, discover an abandoned campsite on a volunteer
search-and-rescue mission, she’s perplexed, but she
carefully photographs it all the same.
All
Grant Wycoff can see when he looks at Ava is a city
slicker—with her designer jeans and shiny
car—who has no business on a serious team made of
seasoned outdoorsmen and retired cops. But when she tells
him of her findings on the trail, he sees there’s more
to her than meets the eye.
Ava’s
discovery reminds Grant of the unsolved case of a young
woman who went missing two years ago. As they look into the
campsite further, another woman disappears under odd
circumstances. With time running out, Ava and Grant must
work against the brutal heat from both the Texas sun and
their own electric chemistry to solve the case.
