The Rocky Mountains have cast their spell over the Courtlands, a young family from the plains taking a last summer vacation before their daughter begins college. For 18-year-old Caitlin, the mountains loom as the ultimate test of her runner's heart, while her parents hope that so much beauty, so much grandeur, will somehow repair a damaged marriage. But when Caitlin and her younger brother, Sean, go out for an early morning run and only Sean returns, the mountains become as terrifying as they are majestic, as suddenly the Courtlands find themselves living the kind of nightmare they've only read about in headlines or seen on TV. As their world comes undone, they are drawn into a vortex of dread and recrimination. Written with a precision that captures every emotion, every moment of fear as each member of the family searches for answers, Tim Johnston's Descent (Algonquin Books) is a perfectly crafted thriller that races like an avalanche toward its heart-pounding conclusion, and heralds the arrival of a master storyteller.
