Another delightful installment in the internationally acclaimed series: It's spring in St. Denis.

On an expedition into Oregon’s Lava River Cave, outdoor journalist Meg Reed stumbles across a body buried way more than six feet under . . .

But in the chilly darkness of the volcanic rock, she discovers a Forest Service employee, stabbed with a trowel. Now Meg will need to do some in-depth investigating or the truth may never come to the surface . . . PRAISE FOR SCENE OF THE CLIMB “A splendid overview of the greater Portland and Columbia River Gorge region, perfect for travel buffs.
