It's fall in the Sierra Mountains, and Anna Pigeon is
slinging hash in Yosemite National Park's historic
Ahwahnee Hotel. Four young people, all seasonal park
employees, have disappeared, and two weeks of work by
crack search-and-rescue teams have failed to turn up a
single clue; investigators are unsure as to whether the
four went AWOL for reasons of their own-or died in the
park. Needing an out-of-park ranger to work undercover,
Anna is detailed to dining-room duty; but after a week of
waiting tables, she knows the missing employees are only
the first indications of a sickness threatening the park.
Her twenty-something roommates give up their party-girl
ways and panic; her new restaurant colleagues regard her
with suspicion and fear. But when Anna's life is
threatened and her temporary supervisor turns a deaf ear,
she follows the scent of evil, taking a solo hike up a
snowy trial to the high country, seeking answers. What
waits for her is a nightmare of death and greed-and
perhaps her final adventure.
