About This Book
THEY SAW SOMETHING THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE. NOW SOMEONE'S MAKING SURE THEY NEVER TELL.
Ten hikers set out for three days in the Sierra Madre mountains. A simple detour around a closed trail changes everything.
When Madison O'Neill's group witnesses a cartel operation in the remote Mexican wilderness, they become prey. But the man hunting them isn't cleaning up a mess—he's savoring it.
He picks them off one by one, patient and unhurried, because he wants them to know he's coming.
Madison came on this trip to reconnect with her sister. Now she'll do anything to survive—even become something her sister would never recognize.
IF SHE LEAVES AT ALL.
