Silas returns to the mountains where he spent his high school days. He is now a divorced father with two sons, who end up going missing. The search and rescue team is brought in and Silas is confronted with another tragedy that happened 20 years before in the same place. The book goes back and forth in time to the first tragedy and then current times.
The author of this book is someone that I went to high school with, so it was extra exciting to get this book. The setting also takes place where I grew up, although some parts are fictionalized. I thought that the book was really good. I enjoyed both timelines and was surprised by a little twist at the end of the book. For the most part, the pacing of the book was good, but there were times where it was a a little slow for me and I wanted it to pick up. It also just so happened that I was reading a nonfiction book about people getting lost on the PCT and I thought that these two books complimented each other really well.
