USA Today Bestselling Author Seven European tourists set off on the trip of a lifetime-a Grand Circle Tour of the American West. Unaware that a desperate journalist has hidden evidence in their van that could bring down a high-level criminal conspiracy-or that they are being pursued by ruthless thugs determined to retrieve the proof at any cost-the innocent visitors travel from one scenic stop to another. The blistering heat, freezing cold, flash flooding, and a vast desert wilderness crammed with menacing wildlife are the least of their problems. A comic mystery set amid the dangerous beauties of Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, and Zion. From USA Today, Audible, and 5-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Carolyn Jourdan, whose previous mystery, Out on a Limb, was voted a Best Kindle Book of the Year. And Ludger Dominic Bracht, an experienced guide and owner of Personal Scout Tours.
