Sam Westin Mystery

Summer "Sam" Westin's assignment to report on cougars in a Utah park goes horribly awry when a child vanishes from a campground and the TV news focuses on the local mountain lions as the likely culprits. As days tick by with no sign of the missing boy and media coverage continues to inflame the public, pressure grows for the park administration to kill the cougars. But Sam was one of the last people to see the child, and she has good reason to suspect a man she spotted in the shadows as little Zachary Fischer ran away from her. Can she find the truth in time to save both the child and the big cats?

Meet Summer "Sam" Westin, a biologist turned internet reporter who is determined to protect wild places and animals, even if she has to risk her own life to do it. This box set includes the first three Sam Westin mysteries. In Endangered, Sam's assignment to report on cougars in a Utah park turns into a nightmare when a toddler vanishes from a campground and the TV news blames the big cats. Sam has good reason to suspect a human is behind little Zack's disappearance, but can she prove it in time to save both the boy and the cougars? In Bear Bait, an explosion, forest fire, and a critically injured trail worker in Olympic National Park draw Sam down a twisted path to a plan more deadly than she could ever imagine. In Undercurrents, Sam fudges her scuba experience to land a reporting job on a marine survey in the Galapagos Islands. When her expedition partner turns up dead, Sam finds herself swimming in treacherous waters-dealing with human predators more deadly than any shark.
