MURDER AND MAYHEM ON THE PACIFIC CREST TRAIL
In SIERRA, a new thriller from Ray Anderson, released prisoners mule hard drugs up the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT).
Years after his run-in with a serial killer on the Appalachian Trail, former Army officer Karl Bergman sets out on a thru-hike of the PCT with his dog, Blazer, with the hopes of returning home a better man.
The discovery of a dead body on the outskirts of the Anza-Borrego Desert threatens to embroil Bergman in another violent chain of events with even higher stakes than his previous ordeal. This time his adversary is not just one man as the dead body appears to be linked to a Mexican drug cartel.
An uneasy alliance with a San Diego narcotics officer makes things more difficult, but when Bergman reconnects with his estranged son, Kenny, a sophomore at UCLA, he puts both of them in grave danger that can only be escaped by bringing down the cartel’s operation. Blazer plays a key role at the end of the story.
“Like Ray Anderson’s first novel THE TRAIL, his new thriller is tense, twisty, and steeped in details that only an experienced long distance hiker could put on the page. Anderson brings the danger and excitement of the remote Pacific Crest Trail fully to life. More than that, he tells one hell of a story. For fans of outdoor mysteries, SIERRA is sure to satisfy.”
~Paul Doiron, Author of WIDOWMAKER
