In the hottest place on earth, every breath could be your last. When the body of a young woman is found on The Racetrack-- one of Death Valley's most isolated and unforgiving locations-- Special Agent Emme Helliwell is called to investigate. With her division facing devastating budget cuts, failure isn't an option-- and neither is letting her personal life interfere with the case.
At first, the case looks simple: a deadbeat boyfriend, a successful girlfriend, a brutal end. But as Emme digs deeper, the facts refuse to fit. Instead, she uncovers a deadly web of drug traffickers, corporate corruption, and a plot that reaches far beyond a single murder.
Now Emme must navigate blistering desert heat, ruthless enemies, and impossible choices as she races to stop a conspiracy capable of inflicting catastrophic damage on the very parks she's sworn to protect.
Perfect for fans of C. J. Box, Nevada Barr, Paul Doiron, and Jane Harper, this fast-paced National Park thriller combines a gripping murder investigation with unforgettable wilderness, relentless suspense, and high-stakes action.
While the novels in the Agent Emme Helliwell National Park Mystery Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is:
A Murder in Zion
Lost in Yellowstone
Death in the Valley
