Black Mountain is a volcano. It just woke up.

Steam vents. Ground fissures. Dead wildlife. Cal Walker discovers what no one in Echo Creek wants to hear: Black Mountain is a volcano, and geological surveys from 1896 show a catastrophic eruption exactly 127 years ago. The sheriff refuses to evacuate. Teenagers camping in Devil's Bowl sit on thermal anomalies.

When the eruption begins, Cal crash-lands a Cessna on Main Street, crawls through volcanic storm drains, and hammers pitons into a cliff face to create the town's only escape route.

BLACK MOUNTAIN is book #12 in the series — where the mountain stops being the setting and becomes the antagonist. The landscape is permanently transformed. And Cal Walker must decide what he's willing to rebuild from the ash.
