Emerson (Firetrap) takes a page from James Dickey's Deliverance in this rousing survival yarn that pits a group of mountain bikers against gun-toting, vengeance-obsessed adversaries and the unleashed fury of Mother Nature.

On a late August day in the foothills of the Cascades, five bicyclists climb into the hot, dry air, the breeze of their movement cooling their overheated bodies, the stress of a workweek slipstreaming behind them. But another group has entered the park, too. They’re in cars, for pleasure and for vengeance. In Earl Emerson’s gripping new novel, a grudge turns an idyllic setting into a terrifying landscape of men and nature at their most dangerous.

G.M. Ford is back with a brand-new book, his first stand-alone novel, featuring a man with no name, no past—and at the center of a conspiracy so pervasive he's forced to run from the only home he's ever known—straight into the abyss—in his search for truth. . . .

Mary Daheim's latest book, The Alpine Traitor, is just out and it's another thriller that takes place in mythical Alpine, Washington. A cozy hamlet in the Cascades, where mystery fans can meet folks whose colorful quirks and welcoming manner make the town feel like home.
