When a cold case in Texas leads to a sinister string of disappearances, a newcomer to the small town helps a detective piece together the clues in this new romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.
Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has had enough of the big city and the daily grind. She grew up with her father, who raised search-and-rescue dogs, in rural Texas and has moved to the small town of Cuervo to spend time in the dry, rugged wilderness near Big Bend National Park. When she and her dog, Huck, discover an abandoned campsite on a volunteer search-and-rescue mission, she’s perplexed, but she carefully photographs it all the same.
 
All Grant Wycoff can see when he looks at Ava is a city slicker—with her designer jeans and shiny car—who has no business on a serious team made of seasoned outdoorsmen and retired cops. But when she tells him of her findings on the trail, he sees there’s more to her than meets the eye.
 
Ava’s discovery reminds Grant of the unsolved case of a young woman who went missing two years ago. As they look into the campsite further, another woman disappears under odd circumstances. With time running out, Ava and Grant must work against the brutal heat from both the Texas sun and their own electric chemistry to solve the case.

      Starred review from September 1, 2022

      In the latest from Griffin ("Tracers" series), lawyer Ava Burch and her search-and-rescue dog Huck show up late to look for a missing toddler in the Texan wilderness near Big Bend National Park. Assigned to a remote segment, Ava encounters a dusty old tent, but this strange discovery falls by the wayside when Ava and Huck later find the missing child. When Ava finally gets detective Grant Wycoff to come look at the scene with her, the tent is gone, but Grant believes it could be linked to a climber who disappeared in the area two years earlier. Ava takes it upon herself to investigate other recent disappearances in Big Bend--cold cases that Grant kept from her. Grant and Ava are attracted to each other, but their relationship stalls thanks to his secrecy and her insistence on digging into the past. They both fear that she's getting too close when she and Huck are attacked on two search-and-rescue missions. VERDICT Cold cases, romance, and several search-and-rescue missions combine in a riveting novel for fans of Paula Munier, Margaret Mizushima, and Jeffrey B. Burton.--Lesa Holstine
