Missing in the Cascades
(2026)(The tenth book in the Luke McCain Mysteries series)
A novel by Rob Phillips
When seventeen-year-old Emma Thomas uploads a new song to Spotify and it explodes into a viral sensation, she becomes an overnight enigma the nation can’t stop talking about. But Emma is nowhere to be found—she’s thousands of miles from home, hiking the rugged Pacific Crest Trail with family and friends, chasing solitude and inspiration.
Unbeknownst to her, a lovesick admirer has followed her across the country, determined to find her on the trail. Unprepared and out of his depth, he disappears into the vast wilderness. As media attention intensifies and Emma fails to check in, rumors begin to spread: the rising star has gone missing in the Cascades.
Washington State game warden Luke McCain knows these mountains—and their dangers''better than anyone. With his loyal yellow Lab, Jack, at his side, Luke takes a break from investigating a bighorn sheep poacher and possible murderer to search for Emma before the wilderness claims her music career before it even begins.
A gripping tale of fame, obsession, and survival—where the line between rescue and tragedy is razor thin.
Praise for Missing in the Cascades:
‘In his latest book, Missing in the Cascades, Luke McCain manages to find someone the whole world is looking for, with the help of his yellow lab, Jack. I have read every book in the series, and Rob’s storytelling takes me on a ride that puts me in places I never would have guessed, and I don’t want it to end. The last chapter comes too soon, and the next book isn’t out soon enough!’ ~Dave Graybill, AKA the FishingMagician, outdoor writer and broadcaster
‘In today's digital world, reading a real paperback book can be challenging; however, I finished Missing in the Cascades within a couple of days. As someone who spends a great deal of time working with many of the plants in our region, I especially enjoyed the references to some of the edible berries! Great read—now I'm hooked on the series and have downloaded the audiobooks!" ~Sharon Trammell, author of Eat off the Land: A Wild Foraging Cookbook
