pecial Agent Emme Helliwell of the National Park Service ends up in Yellowstone to investigate when a human foot is found after the eruption of a geyser in Maggi’s follow-up to A Death in Zion. Going back to this historic National Park brings excessive stress and concern, since her last time there, she failed to find missing hiker David Finch. If the foot is David’s, it will solve a three-year-old cold case. Unfortunately, the coroner determines that the foot comes from a teenager, not an adult. Helliwell discovers a mysterious private school called Higher Purpose, and everything about its operations seems sketchy. Add in an ex-boyfriend ranger to assist her on the case; since their breakup didn’t end well, the stress levels for Helliwell guarantee that at some point she will explode like Old Faithful. Maggi uses the natural, chaotic Yellowstone landscape in an imaginative, fun way to tell her terrific story. Readers who love the National Parks will find much to savor and will want to visit Yellowstone right after turning the last page.
