Tracker Aroostine Higgins and Special Agent Patton Banks, a criminal investigator with the National Park Services Investigative Services Branch, have a strained relationship. He doesn’t trust her, and she doesn’t agree with his by-the-book approach. They’re far from an investigative dream team. But when Aroostine picks up the trail of a fugitive during a visit to Clingmans Dome, the pair is thrown into an investigation together. Alan Steven Reynolds is a notorious jewel thief. He and four accomplices pulled off the largest single heist in history. Three of the men went to prison, Reynolds went on the run, and the fifth finagled a non-guilty verdict. Now, Roo and Patton must comb the dense forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in search of the jewel thief—and the jewels. Reynolds isn’t only running from the law, though. As the investigators track the wanted man, their every move is also being tracked by someone with the resources and the resolve to exact the ultimate revenge. Aroostine and Patton need to bring Reynolds in before his old partner brings him down, along with anyone else he finds in the woods. Clingmans Dome is the sixth book in USA Today bestselling author Melissa F. Miller’s smart, fast-paced Aroostine Higgins series.
