A harrowing accident on the Bright Angel Trail, Grand
Canyon, leaves Krista badly shaken. She
suspects her ex-husband, Jonathan, wanted by the authorities, has resurfaced
with his lethal purpose. In Sedona, the
family meets Angel (a menacing ruffian from deep in Mexico), Edgar (a
mysterious hiking-supply shop owner), Billie (a USFS ranger), and a lecturer
from the Hopi tribe. Inexplicably, paths
cross resulting in two stabbing victims at Sunset Crater. Krista is in shock, inconsolable with grief
and anger after finding the bodies—blood intermingling with the red cinders of Palatsmo.
Immediately suspecting Jonathan, she sets out with dogged
determination to prove his involvement. FBI
Special Agent in Charge Dean Black leads the investigation. Dean and Krista spar as they independently hunt
a cunning madman. Forensics and witness
testimony widen the suspect pool. Is
this really the work of Jonathan? Something
is off. Krista is troubled and
confused. The FBI receives a letter from
a “Concerned Citizen.” Is Krista a
suspect, too?
The authorities have more than one perplexing case to
solve: Two tourists are gunned down in their car at a vista overlook. A fire at a bucolic campground reveals a
homicide among the ashes of a jeep. Two
locals disappear overnight. A police
confrontation at one of Arizona’s original general stores leaves the shooter
dead. A sedan careens off a highway and
remains hidden from view until a helicopter sights this crash; a fatality
awaits within the vehicle. Do these
tragedies have a connection?
Jonathan stalks and threatens Krista. He makes his presence known while continuing
to elude capture for his past crimes. Krista
has an explosive confrontation and physical altercation with more than one
suspect in the double murder at Sunset Crater. She battles her own emotional demons; her
loved ones face mortal danger as she struggles for the truth. Like a speeding locomotive without an
engineer, no one sees the truth coming.
