LOST IN YELLOWSTONE
A foot in a geyser. A school in the wild. A truth no one saw coming.
When a human foot is ejected from a geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Special Agent Emme Helliwell of the National Park Service is assigned the chilling case.
Tasked with identifying the victim and uncovering what led to such a grisly end, Emme is drawn into the park’s vast, unforgiving wilderness—and into the orbit of a private school for at-risk teens where extreme backcountry excursions are part of the curriculum. As disturbing truths begin to surface, Emme must also confront personal fault lines, including the unresolved tension with an ex-boyfriend who’s suddenly back in her life and assigned to the same case. In a place where every step could be your last, Emme must navigate both treacherous terrain and emotional landmines to solve a mystery that could cost her everything.

She’s so distraught that she gives her boss, Stace Pompey, two weeks’ notice. Soon after, investigators find a body in Zion National Park, and Stace asks Emme to look into it. The victim turns out to be Emme’s high school friend, Max Kerchek, and she considers delaying her retirement until she finds justice.
