About this ebook

When a reality TV show contestant goes missing, woodsman and tracker Tye Caine unravels a decades-old mystery. As he follows a dark and twisted trail, specters from his past come back to haunt him.

Tye can only trust his girlfriend Kaity and his friend Gary as they navigate the heat-blasted high desert of eastern Washington state.

Then, when they thought things couldn’t get any weirder, mysterious lights on the mountain flash a message to someone lurking below, and Tye starts seeing a woman who has been dead for a hundred years.

Ratings and reviews

Interesting, well written read with depth, subtle humor, and unique premises for the mystery arcs. The primary protagonist, Tye, sometimes has prophetic dreams and occasionally sees ghosts or dream interacts with them. Those extrasensory abilities, which are portrayed credibly and appear only a few times in the book -- and that's the extent of the so-called paranormal or woo woo mysteriously hinted at in the book's description. The book frustrated me because it had the elements, idwas, and characters to be a great read, but characterization for the otherwise interesting coterie of "good guys" was thin, dreary, and dismally or dully factual. Dismal feeling upon comoleting what should be an intriguing book in a series wgere eaxh book has a "happy endung,"

l like these books, but this one felt a little rushed at the end like there was a chapter or two missing

Love these books. ready for the next adventure
