National Parks Mystery

While enjoying a rare weekend off from her duties as an agent with the Investigative Services Branch, Felicity Harland learns that a young couple has turned up dead in Gates of the Arctic National Park. Harland recruits her partner, ex-Navy SEAL Ferdinand "Hux" Huxley, to join her in the investigation. After processing the peculiar scene where the couple perished, Harland and Hux decide that this was no tragic accident. They soon hear about a man living off the land, recruiting couples to his "fertility cult" in the Arctic. Could this survivalist have played a role in the couple's death? Determined to get to the truth before anyone else meets a similar fate, Harland and Hux venture deep into the backcountry to find the cult's campsite. But what they find there tests their relationship in ways they never imagined-and thrusts them into a dangerous and deadly game.

When a guest turns up dead at the newly opened Pinnacles Grand Hotel, ISB agent Felicity Harland finds herself summoned to a peculiar scene. A gentle breeze blows in from the balcony window, belying the violence of a man stabbed to death in his hotel room. It's clear to Harland that this murder was personal, especially when the victim's wife admits that she wanted him dead. But Harland isn't so sure that this was a domestic dispute gone bad. When she hears about the Park Service searching for a missing person out on the trails, she sets out with her partner, Ferdinand "Hux" Huxley, to see if the two cases are connected. As Harland and Hux take on the rocky, exposed terrain of California's ancient volcanic wonderland, they soon realize that the mystery at the Pinnacles Grand is not at all what it seems-and that a predator may be closing in.
