--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Archaeologist Chuck Bender arrives with his family in Yosemite Valley to
study the 150-year-old murders of a pair of gold prospectors in the
midst of preparations for the annual Yosemite Slam rock-climbing
competition and a reunion with his old climbing buddies. The trip
quickly turns threatening when one climber never shows up, climbing
equipment fails, and Chuck and his spouse, Janelle Ortega, are suspected
in the shocking, present-day death of one of Chuck's former
rock-climbing partners. Together, Chuck and Janelle race against time to
solve the dual mysteries and prove their innocence--all while facing
down a ruthless killer on the loose.
