"High-season is finally coming to an end for Jackson Hole fishing guide Jake Trent. With newfound time on his hands, the ex-lawyer's thoughts turn to his sputtering romance with park ranger Noelle Kimpton-when a surprise call from a long-lost lover unsettles him. Jake hadn't seen Divya Navaysam, a DC lobbyist, since law school graduation. Now, with strange urgency, she is asking him to come to Washington to act as a consultant. Jake books a ticket, wondering what Divya is keeping from him. Meanwhile in Jackson, his best friend and sometime-employee J.P. is nursing romantic wounds of his own. J.P. has fallen head over heels for Esma. But as their perfect summer together winds down, she must return in her native Mexico. Before long, she has dropped off the grid completely. Has something terrible happened to her? When local police offer little help, a distraught J.P. turns to Jake, begging him to help stitch together a search team. The former head of the Office of Special Investigations is the obvious choice to lead them, but they also need the help of those who know the terrain. Jake must find Esma and finagle a heated relationship with his ex-flame in order to help solve the crisis. Jake's renegade investigation leads him to a remote cabin in Idaho-and a series of discoveries that point to a conspiracy bigger than anything he could have imagined. David Riley Bertch's second installment in the Jake Trent series is a rollicking thriller-with a twisting plotline involving immigration, overpopulation, dirty politicians, and international intrigue."--.
