A special agent with the National Park Service, Emme is determined to turn in her badge and take over her mother's bakery for a much quieter life... until the body of a childhood friend turns up in the Narrows of Zion National Park. Emme is called in to investigate the death, and the case is too personal for her to turn down.

The beauty of Zion National Park is breathtaking, but it may hide sordid secrets in its depths"--
