It should have been a perfect trip for archaeologist Chuck Bender: stunning western landscapes, quality time with his new family, and a paid gig doing survey work for Grand Canyon National Park. Still reeling from a whirlwind romance and adjusting to life with two young stepdaughters, Chuck stumbles into a deadly struggle that forces him to reckon with his past as he suddenly faces every parent’s worst nightmare: a missing child.
This special tenth anniversary edition of Grand Canyon Sacrifice, the first book in the National Park Mystery Series—featuring a thoughtful new foreword by Anne Hillerman and stunning new cover artwork by David Jonason—brings the rugged beauty and ongoing cultural fissures of the West vividly to life.
