Rage in the Wilderness

For Nikki Garcia, the wildfire burning through the New Mexico mountains was supposed to be the worst thing about the summer. Then the smoke clears and her husband, Eduardo, is gone, taken during the evacuation.

What looks at first like a crime of opportunity turns out to be something older and far more deliberate. Nikki's search moves from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains across the Colorado prairie and into decades-old secrets tied to the high-security heart of Cheyenne Mountain, where an international network is willing to go a long way to keep what it has stolen.

Rage in the Wilderness is the fifth Nikki Garcia mystery by Kathryn Lane, mixing private-investigator procedural work with espionage and wilderness suspense.
