In one of the country's remotest corners, Investigative Services Bureau agent Felicity Harland squares off against a bizarre cult with the deadliest of motives in this thrilling outdoor adventure for fans of Scott Graham and Nevada Barr. While enjoying a rare weekend off, Felicity Harland, agent with the National Parks Investigative Services Bureau, learns that her cousin, Kelsey, has gone missing after a spontaneous trip to Alaska. Felicity recruits her partner, ex-Navy SEAL Hux Huxley, to aid in the search for Kelsey, but their investigation soon takes a sinister turn. It begins with the mysterious deaths of a couple on the Koyukuk River in the distant Arctic. Then, they begin hearing ominous reports of a bizarre fertility cult known as the "Kindred of the North," living off the land in the Gates of the Arctic, the remotest national park in the United States. Could the Kindred have recruited Kelsey to join them? As they venture undercover to penetrate the cult, they find themselves playing a dangerous game-not just with a potentially murderous group of strangers, but also with each other. But to get to the deadly truth about the Kindred of the North and their charismatic leader, Felicity and Hux must journey to Mount Doonerak, the park's highest peak-a forbidding climb that will put their mettle, and their friendship, to the ultimate test. |
