A wildlife biologistโs shocking death leads to chilling discoveries about a home for troubled teens in Christine Carboโs 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 personโbe it a reckless, arrogant climber or a distracted hikerโwill meet tragedy in the park. But Paul โWolfieโ Sedgewickโs 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 Glacierโs treacherous terrain presentsโand 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 isnโt right. So when whispers of irresponsibility or suicide emerge, tarnishing Wolfieโs reputation, Monty dedicates himself to uncovering the truth, for the sake of the manโs family and to satisfy his own persistent sense of unease. Monty discovers that Wolfieโs zealous studies of Glacierโs 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 teensโone that Montyโs older brother attendedโmay 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 heโd buried long ago. And then a second body is found.
