For fans of C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, and Jon Krakauer - the ninth Patrick Flint novel, in which a killer acquitted at trial follows the family to the summit of Mount Rainier to finish what she started.
Dr. Patrick Flint has been training for Mount Rainier for two years. He finally goes in August 1978, roped to his friends Henry Sibley and Wes Braten. Back in Buffalo, the jury in Bella Crooke's murder trial returns a verdict: not guilty. Bella is acquitted. Bella is also immediately free, and she has a list.
The list starts with the Flint family. Perry is a freshman on the varsity football team trying to keep a girl who gives worm sandwiches from noticing that a senior cheerleader is pursuing him. Trish wants to apply to the University of Alaska Southern and her parents keep saying no. Someone in a blue Bronco is watching the house. Someone runs Trish down with a car. Someone kidnaps Perry. Someone locks the family in their burning house with the windows sealed shut and every exit blocked.
Bella had a guide on the mountain too. Patrick, Henry, and Wes don't know that until too late.
Snow Ghost is the ninth Patrick Flint novel and brings together every threat, every unresolved question, and every character who has appeared across nine books. It is also the one where Trish gets to decide her own future, Perry starts dating a girl who remembers the worm sandwich, and Patrick and Susanne survive long enough to figure out what comes next.
Pamela Fagan Hutchins grew up in Buffalo, Wyoming. She is familiar with killers who don't stay acquitted. The arson is fictional. The mountains are real.
She was acquitted. She had guides on the mountain. The windows were sealed from the outside. Snow Ghost concludes in Buffalo, Wyoming-and on the summit of Mount Rainier.
