Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers with twisty plots where the obvious suspect isn't the real threat.
You've read the Rachel Hatch series and want more of Dalton Savage's grit and determination.
You enjoy procedural mysteries set in harsh outdoor environments where the landscape is as much an obstacle as the villain.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or police procedurals with light tones and minimal violence.
You want a standalone crime novel rather than the start of a series with ongoing character arcs.
You're looking for a slow-burn psychological thriller; this one moves at pace and prioritises plot momentum.

About this book

A 22-year-old woman named Candy disappears while hiking on a popular trail. Suspicion initially points to her recently paroled ex-boyfriend, whose imprisonment resulted from Candy's testimony against him. Dalton Savage and his team launch a manhunt that takes them into the Colorado mountains. As they pursue their suspect, an unexpected development emerges that fundamentally changes the investigation. The case reveals deeper questions: who was Candy actually fleeing from, and does that person remain a threat? Savage confronts a desperate and ruthless adversary while facing the possibility of losing those closest to him in his effort to bring the killer to justice. This is the first book in a new mystery thriller series featuring Dalton Savage, a character from the Rachel Hatch series.
