The 13th book of the Doug Fletcher series finds US Park Service investigators Doug and Jill Fletcher dispatched to Hilo, Hawaii when the bodies of two lost hikers are discovered in Volcanoes National Park. Initially reluctant to accept the assignment, Doug becomes intrigued when he learns that the investigating ranger's report of lost hikers overcome by volcanic gasses disagrees with the autopsy findings. Jill is additionally attracted to the assignment by the promise of a vacation at the end of their investigation.

As the investigation progresses, the Fletchers find themselves viewing the crime scene from a helicopter and entangled in more than the death of two park visitors.
