Yellowstone meets INTO THIN AIR

Patrick Flint is about to make the most harrowing climb of his life.

When the body of Patrick's beautiful young climbing partner floats up dead in the creek behind the Flint home, rumors about the two of them explode, thrusting Susanne into the role of the woman scorned and the crosshairs of the police.

If he fails to summit, he may lose his life. And his wife.

The Flints' teenage kids get sucked into the turmoil, too, with Perry making decisions that could cost him his future, and Trish becoming entangled with two local thugs, just as a past love resurfaces in her life.

It's a race against time, a killer or killers unknown, and the mountain itself.

With their freedom at stake and a killer on their heels, Patrick and Susanne must learn to trust again, revisit old memories, and delve into secrets, all to unearth a treasure the likes of which tiny Buffalo, Wyoming has never known.

"Best books I've read in a long time!"

SKIN AND BONES is the eighth book in the Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn't Kill You saga.
