About this Event

About the book:

A foot in a geyser. A school in the wild. A truth no one saw coming.

When a human foot is ejected from a geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Special Agent Emme Helliwell of the National Park Service is assigned the chilling case.

Tasked with identifying the victim and uncovering what led to such a grisly end, Emme is drawn into the park’s vast, unforgiving wilderness—and into the orbit of a private school for at-risk teens where extreme backcountry excursions are part of the curriculum. As disturbing truths begin to surface, Emme must also confront personal fault lines, including the unresolved tension with an ex-boyfriend who’s suddenly back in her life and assigned to the same case.

In a place where danger hides behind natural beauty and good intentions can mask darker motives, Emme must navigate both treacherous terrain and emotional landmines to solve a mystery that could cost her everything.

About the authors:

Nicole Maggi is the author of A M**der IN ZION, the first in the National Park Mystery Series (Oceanview Pub), which Publishers Weekly called “a winner” and has been nominated for a Golden Poppy. She also penned THE FORGETTING, an International Thriller Writers Thriller Award Finalist, a Junior Library Guild selection and a #1 Kindle Bestseller, as well as WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW. Her YA fantasy series THE TWIN WILLOWS TRILOGY (Medallion Press 2014), was called “reminiscent of Twilight and Harry Potter” by VOYA. Nicole holds a BFA from Emerson College and has spoken at numerous conferences, including ALA, SCBWI, NYC Teen Book Festival, and Ontario Teen Book Fest. When she’s not writing, she’s plotting her next escape to a National Park.

Romina Garber is a New York Times and international bestselling author whose books include The Last Vampire, Castle of the Cursed, Lobizona, Cazadora, & the ZODIAC quartet. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in Miami, Florida, Romina landed her first writing gig as a teen—College She Wrote, a weekly Sunday column for the Miami Herald that was later picked up for national syndication—and she hasn’t stopped writing since. She is a graduate of Harvard College and a Virgo to the core.
