Endangered
By Pamela Beason
Please bear with me as I set your
course onto the mystery trail of the suspenseful Summer Westin Mystery series
by Pamela Beason. Each book takes place
in an intriguing natural environment of the great outdoors. In these mysteries the setting, a contrast of
beauty and danger, adds such an exciting dimension to the stories.
Summer Westin, known as Sam, is
a wildlife biologist, and she also writes articles about the animals and
wilderness. She’s currently Endangered in the back country of Utah. Passing through the Red Rock Campground, she pauses
and meets up with some of her Ranger friends.
She also runs into some of the camping families and unwittingly plays a
part in one of the children suddenly going missing. An intense search ensues on the rugged
mountain. Sam is determined to save the
child, and also the wild cougars she loves, when people who are incited by the
growing media circus begin blaming the animals for endangering people. Even the FBI get involved in the search, and
the agents assigned are wonderfully down-to-earth characters to enjoy as
well. During the course of the novel there’s
even a growing question about a romantic interest for our courageous and smart
protagonist.
The mystery of what’s happened
to the child is so suspenseful, you’ll never know what’s around the next
corner, or where the trail of clues will take you, not to mention when Sam
takes you OT – that’s off trail. The
suspects are uncovered sometimes with deliberation, and some appear
unexpectedly. The action is so engaging
you’ll forget you’re a reader and start assuming you’re out there with Sam
trekking across the wilderness, with heart pounding determination to save the
child and the cougars.
Pamela Beason is a retired private investigator who lives here in the Pacific Northwest. She knows the outdoors first hand because when she's not hard at work on her next book, she explores the natural world on foot, in cross-country skis, in her kayak, or underwater scuba diving. She writes mystery and romantic suspense books with strong women, quirky sidekicks, animals both domestic and wild, a dash of humor, and a big dose of suspense. After reading her other Summer Westin Mystery books with Sam solving mysteries in the Galapagos, and nearby in the Cascades, try her Neema Mystery series.
