Working out of her apartment at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, Celine is a private eye who tracks down missing persons and has a better record at it than the FBI. When a young woman named Gabriela asks for her help, though, a world of mystery and sorrow opens up. Gabriela's father was a photographer who went missing on the border of Montana and Wyoming; he was assumed to have died from a grizzly mauling, but his body was never found. Now, as Celine and her partner head to Yellowstone National Park to investigate a trail gone cold, it becomes clear that they are being followed-and that this is a case someone desperately wants to keep closed.

An award-winning adventure writer and a longtime contributor to NPR, Heller is a contributing editor at Outside magazine, Men's Journal and National Geographic Adventure, and a regular contributor to Bloomberg Businessweek.
