In the remote Montana wilderness, a child has vanished—and time is running out. An elite FBI sniper joins forces with a search-and-rescue ranger and her K9 partner to track a dangerous fugitive through brutal terrain and worsening weather. As the search pushes deeper into isolation, survival depends on trust—between handler and dog, teammates in the field, and two people shaped by past trauma. With a young life at stake and the border drawing closer, every decision carries consequences. To succeed, they must face the elements, the threat ahead, and the truths they’ve long kept buried. From an award-winning, New York Times bestselling author.
