When Shay Hamilton picks up a young woman, Lori Mysek, fleeing from her husband on I-90 near Drummond, Montana, he has no idea the set of events his action will unleash. A motel owner and would-be private eye, Shay has lost hope of a loving relationship after finding his wife with another man.

Lori is in turmoil because the father of her unborn child doesn't want children. And her husband, whom she's been trying to divorce for years, has just been released from prison.

The day after Shay picks up Lori, part-time Deputy Sheriff Winslow Doyle begins investigating a break-in and then a murder. His investigations put him on a course that will intersect with the two of them.

As Lori is afraid to go home, Shay allows Lori to stay at the motel he owns.

When a guest, the mother of a young female treasure hunter, missing in the wilderness, has reason to beg both Shay and Lori to work together to find her daughter—they set out on an investigation without officially being private eyes.

But while they attempt to find the missing woman, Lori's husband closes in. Both a mystery and a thriller, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Author's Note: My family and I spent years searching for the real-life Forrest Fenn's treasure. The areas described in Shay and Lori's search are the areas we spent most of our time searching.
