Publisher Description
With her housemate Blake away and her lover Chase also absent, Sam Westin, at loose ends, embarks on a backpacking trip in the North Cascades, hoping to photograph the elusive gray wolves. Blake, reeling from a recent breakup, has taken a six-week job far away in Evansburg, caring for three gorillas while their owner, Dr. Grace McKenna, is on vacation. But events take a dark turn when the baby gorilla is shot by an intruder, prompting Grace's lover, Detective Finn, to investigate.
Sam's impromptu trip becomes dangerous when she finds a corpse and then stumbles upon an injured immigrant and pack horse carrying drugs. After a gunshot forces her to flee her campsite, Sam faces a perilous cross-country journey with the injured man and horse in tow.
In Evansburg, while following the trail of the gorilla shooting, Detective Finn stumbles upon a murdered woman in a nearby abandoned house and her child hiding in the gorilla barn. With both investigations going nowhere fast, it will take Sam visiting Blake and the gorillas to spot a clue that may be the link needed to solve all the crimes.

A wonderful story of intrigue, mystery and suspense. It involves interesting characters from an array of different professions. They each play a role in putting the puzzle pieces together to problem solve serious injuries, murders, drug and people smuggling and hand signing gorilla witnesses. Enjoyable facts about the northwest USA and Canada bring that beautiful area to life.
