The South Rim Trail, Paperback

When her kid brother Alex heads to West Texas with an older woman, Professor Claire Harp doesn't know what to think. A TV sitcom idol with a budding movie career, Alex looks forward to a romantic time hiking and camping at Big Bend National Park. But then his beautiful and ambitious girlfriend disappears overnight on its most celebrated trail. Days later, a prominent artist is found murdered elsewhere in the park and valuable paintings from her private collection are missing too. Once again, Claire finds herself pulled into both investigations. But neither she nor Sheriff Clayton Shoot can foresee the twists and turns this story will take-right up to its final page. As fresh as The Window Trail (the first book in the series) and just as high-spirited, The South Rim Trail draws you even deeper into Big Bend Country.
