If a park ranger saves someone from danger--the reasons not quite understood--are they entitled to secrets that can't be shared?
High on a treacherous canyon wall, a man from the pueblo clings to a ledge. Furiously working to rescue him, Park Ranger Jack Chastain is nearly killed. Now he wants an explanation, and the man refuses to talk. Jack learns the secret revolves around a death sixteen years before, and a lot more is now at stake. While looking for answers, ghosts from Jack's own past threaten his new life in New Mexico. When protecting a place loved by many--a national park--competes with the appeal of the rich and powerful, short-term admiration can have lasting consequences. Jack Chastain is forced to choose. Play the suck-up game with the others or protect a Native American man with something to hide.A mystery in the tradition of national park thrillers and Southwest cultural who-done-its, the likes of Nevada Barr and Tony and Anne Hillerman. A great gift for lovers of national parks and action-packed mysteries.

His behind-the-scenes knowledge of the subculture creates a believable setting that blends seamlessly with the story." -Isaac Mayo, Developmental Editor."An engaging mystery with strong characters and wonderfully authentic setting in the Southwest. Keep your eye on this nascent series." -Colorado Author's League, 2015 Award for Mainstream Fiction--J.M. Mitchell
