Synopsis

In this atmospheric tale authoress Gwen Moffat, herself a wilderness traveller, has again created a 'first-rate mystery thatis impossible to pre-guess.' Timothy Argent, best-selling author of travel books, is following an old wagon trail across America's West, charting his progress with laconic postcards to his publisher. Suddenly all communication stops, and after six weeks the desperate editor persuades Melinda Pink to go out and find the man. As the heat-wave tightens its grip on the Sierra foothills, Miss Pink unravels the mystery of Argent's disappearance from a welter of evidence.

From Publishers Weekly

When a British travel writer disappears in the California Sierras, his publisher asks romance writer and amateur sleuth Melinda Pink (last seen in The Stone Hawk ) to find him. Brilliant but alcoholic Timothy Argent had been following the trail of a wagon train from Missouri to California and was last heard from via a postcard from Gabriel, Calif. It is feared that the profitable writer has gone on a serious bender. Miss Pink tracks him to Dogtown, a gold-rush ghost town being rebuilt as a tourist attraction, but finds he is no longer there, having run off with the beautiful English girlfriend of Bret Vogel, caretaker of a local estate. After Miss Pink discovers Timothy's Jeep crashed in a canyon, she begins to fear for the writer's safety, especially when Vogel is tied to drug smuggling in Texas. When two dead bodies confirm her dire suspicions, Miss Pink brings her knowledge of human nature to bear as she uncovers the truth. Moffat again artfully limns life in the awesome mountains and delves into the passions that can fester in small and isolated communities.
