In Timber Creek, the hot, dry Santa Ana winds are blowing. But more than just the threat of wildfire endangers the tiny mountain community. And as a member of a mountain search and rescue team, Gracie Kinkaid will come face to face with that peril...Gracie and her rescue team are searching along the highway in the middle of the blisteringly hot Mojave Desert when they make a grisly discovery-a trash bag containing human body parts. Not long after, Gracie's growing friendship with an eleven-year-old runaway draws her unwittingly into the secretive, hate-filled world of the boy's family-a group of gun-toting extremists. As a wildfire roars into Timber Creek, Gracie finds herself caught up in an explosive plot that, unless she stops it, will destroy countless innocent lives.

As a member of a mountain search and rescue team, Gracie Kinkaid routinely volunteers to put her life on the line to save others.

The crash, which Gracie quickly suspects is no accident, proves to be one in an escalating and deadly series of events that leads her right back to Camp Ponderosa, the church-owned camp where she works as Program Director. As Gracie probes more deeply into the dark secrets at the camp, she unearths a hidden world of illegal activities, including murder...and finds herself going head- to-head with desperate criminals who will do anything to silence her forever.
