A treacherous trail. A bloody bandana. A dead survivalist.Pet-sitter Bonnie Reed wanted a calm morning, maybe a coffee that didn’t spill.
Instead, her husky client rockets into Bear Hollow. A scream rips through the trees, and Dale Kruger’s collie, who never let the self-proclaimed survival expert out of his sight, staggers out alone, shaking and stained with blood that’s not his own.


When Dale Kruger is found dead halfway down a cliff, Bonnie becomes knee-deep in suspects with motives bigger than the mountains:

Ray Dunlap, Dale’s conspiracy-addicted buddy, furious that Dale was about to debunk his so-called ‘classified wilderness intel’ in an upcoming viral video…

Reenie Hale, Forest Ranger, Defensive about her conservation work, and anyone questioning her moral compass…

With clues sprouting like weeds and danger lurking off every switchback, Bonnie finds herself racing a killer who knows the forest far too well.

If she can’t expose the murderer, she might be the next one ‘lost’ on the trail.
