As a federal agent with the Investigative Services Bureau, she tackles crimes that occur on National Parks lands: unexplained falls, domestic disputes, and now a possible murder case. The private company that set up the exclusive camp wont reveal their client list, leaving Felicity with zero clues. As she struggles to find a lead, shes also haunted by a painful past that dogs her at every step. But when she meets Ferdinand Huxley, a Navy SEAL turned park ranger, she begins to see the value in not just working with a partner, but trusting one, too. The investigation takes Felicity and Hux deep into a wilderness that tests their physical limits to the extremeand to the mean streets of Los Angeles, where they begin to learn the grisly truth behind the campers disappearance. Bad things happen in the wildernessand sometimes theyre not accidents.

A promising start to a series about a federal agent solving crimes in the US National Parks. A nice placeholder while I wait for the next Alice Henderson book.

robinb FOLLOW-UP REVIEW: Overall, I enjoyed this book which focused on the disappearance of some wealthy campers from their exclusive “glam camp) in the Sequoia National Park.
Felicity Harland, a former FBI agent now a chief investigator for crimes on national parks lands, joins forces with Hux, a park ranger and former SEAL, to travel deep into the park to unearth the truth behind the vanishings. I liked Felicity although at times I felt she seemed🔻
8mo
robinb a bit unsuited to the physical demands of her job. I actually liked Hux‘s character more because of his forthright manner, his expertise and his humor. The denouement was very much a surprise and maybe a bit convoluted as far as the reasoning behind the perpetrator was concerned. 3.5/5⭐️ (edited) 8mo
