A wildlife biologistβs shocking death leads to chilling discoveries about a home for troubled teens in Christine Carboβs 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 personβbe it a reckless, arrogant climber or a distracted hikerβwill meet tragedy in the park. But Paul βWolfieβ Sedgewickβs 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 Glacierβs treacherous terrain presentsβand 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 isnβt right. So when whispers of irresponsibility or suicide emerge, tarnishing Wolfieβs reputation, Monty dedicates himself to uncovering the truth, for the sake of the manβs family and to satisfy his own persistent sense of unease. Monty discovers that Wolfieβs zealous studies of Glacierβs 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 teensβone that Montyβs older brother attendedβmay 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 heβd buried long ago. And then a second body is found.
