About this ebook
Danger lurks in the wilderness of the Rockies.
After a dinner-party clash between entrenched oil interests and liberal Hollywood insiders, only Michael and Tyrone, the two children at the disastrous event, remain friends. But soon one dinner guest dinner guest is dead and two more are missing in the Alberta wilds.
As Jan Brenner comforts the newly-bereaved Michael, Lacey McCrae infiltrates the Caine oil dynasty to learn which of Tyrone’s older half-brothers and their scheming mothers most want him gone. With the search for the missing heading into its third night, Lacey uncovers a massive hole in the Caine ranch’s security network as well as evidence of previous attacks on Tyrone. Then Jan discovers a long-buried connection between the two families that threatens Michael, too.
As thunderstorms roll over the vast limestone cliffs of the Ghost Wilderness, danger stalks Michael, Tyrone, and the women who struggle to keep them safe.

Canada, murder, search-and-rescue, mystery, family-dynamics, friendship***** A very good mystery in a part of the country that is both beautiful and dramatic with a protagonist who is both believable and has a heroic inquisitive nature. But. I wish that I had read the earlier books and could have kept straight the multitude of well drawn characters (my problem, not the author's). The story is as dramatic as the environs and has plenty of plot twists and not a few red herrings. I liked it a lot despite all. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Dundurn Press via NetGalley. Thank you!
