Chaffee County Search & Rescue is known for finding lost people in the Rocky Mountain backcountry. But they've never lost one of their own before.
Cam Torrens, author of Stable, has written another psychological thriller that will have readers racing to answer the question...what happened to Kristee Li?
Veteran pilot Tyler Zahn is finally recovering from the tragedies that cost him his family and drove him from the Air Force, when his best friend, Kristee Li, disappears on a remote search and rescue mission. A massive effort to find her fails. No clues. No body. Kristee is presumed dead.
A fellow team member claims the disappearance is no accident and Zahn begins to question what really happened in the mountains. Who would have wanted Kristee dead? More importantly...why? Plagued with grief, Zahn probes for answers while slowly slipping into the familiar depression he's worked so hard to escape.
False Summit proves when it comes to money, sexuality, and cultural norms, the truth is in short supply.
What did I think?
I absolutely loved the first Tyler Zahn novel, Stable, so I was very excited to read the follow up, False Summit, and I was not disappointed.
Set in the Rocky Mountains, the mountainous location is almost a character in itself as it holds the answer to the question on everyone's lips: what happened to Tyler Zahn's Search & Rescue colleague Kristee Li.
The disappearance of Kristee is the hook that reeled me in immediately but it's the gradual revealing of the days leading up to her disappearance that kept me riveted. There are so many different strands to her story and I absolutely loved putting her life under a virtual microscope to piece together her last known movements.
I love Tyler Zahn's dogged determination to never give up, even when the Sheriff warns him to stop investigating. Kristee is his friend and if you want anyone in your corner, it's Tyler Zahn. It's clear that there is more to Kristee's disappearance than anyone first thought and a few of the characters in Kristee's life are hiding something so they don't want the police poking around too much. They didn't bargain on Tyler Zahn though and he's not going to give up until he finds out the truth.
False Summit is a novel that held me in an icy grip from start to finish. It's so cleverly written that I simply couldn't read fast enough to get to what actually happened on the mountain and it left me on tenterhooks for book 3.
Many thanks to Cam Torrens for sending me a digital ARC to read and review; this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
