Cassidy Ivanoff and her father, John, work at the new and prestigious Curry Hotel outside Mt. McKinley. While John will be expedition and wilderness exploration guide for the wealthy tourists, Cassidy has signed on as a cook’s assistant.

His father’s partner blames their guide for the death of his father, but Allan wants to find the truth for himself. He finds an unlikely ally in Cassidy, and as the two begin to look into the mystery, they suddenly find that things are much less clear, and much more dangerous, than either could ever imagine.

Cassidy Ivanoff has lived in Alaska her entire life, her father John, an highly esteemed guide among the vast mountainous regions, having led expeditions up the infamous Mount McKinley, affectionately known to native Alaskans as Denali. After the tragic loss of one of his hikers, John and Cassidy have accepted employment at the prestigious Curry Hotel, strategically nestled along the emerging Alaska Railroad. When Henry Brennan's son, Allan, arrives in Curry to seek answers about his father's unfortunate demise, the dark shadows surrounding that fateful day struggle to meet the light of truth.
