Book Description
Katahdin Drowning opens within a nightmare that has haunted amateur sleuth and librarian Jessie Tyler ever since her husband's death two years earlier. An owl's ominous call reminds her that she is in Baxter State Park, and not at the scene of her husband's death. Jessie attempts to shake off the horror as she prepares to climb Maine's tallest mountain with her son, Jonathan; her college friend, Dara Kane; and her neighbor's two daughters, Gina Day and Willa Royce. No sooner does Jessie crawl from her shelter, than an unpleasant woman explodes from another lean-to. Fitness star Veronica Verne rages against the wildlife that most visitors to the park come to see. She vents her fury at innocent bystanders because the boss who sent her here to be filmed climbing Katahdin is back in Boston. By the time Verne begins her hike, she has left a number of upset people in her wake. During her climb, Verne spies someone she's unwilling to face so she turns back towards Katahdin Stream Campground. She is never again seen alive. It is Jessie's displeasure to be among those who find Veronica Verne floating face-down in a pool of water at the base of Katahdin Stream Falls. Once it becomes evident that Veronica Verne was murdered, local and state police are called in.

Pages : 305
Book Description
“Henry Smith’s father told him that if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you.” But Trouble comes careening down the road one night in the form of a pickup truck that strikes Henry’s older brother, Franklin. In the truck is Chay Chouan, a young Cambodian from Franklin’s preparatory school, and the accident sparks racial tensions in the school—and in the well-established town where Henry’s family has lived for generations. Caught between anger and grief, Henry sets out to do the only thing he can think of: climb Mt. Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine, which he and Franklin were going to climb together. Along with Black Dog, whom Henry has rescued from drowning, and a friend, Henry leaves without his parents’ knowledge. The journey, both exhilarating and dangerous, turns into an odyssey of discovery about himself, his older sister, Louisa, his ancestry, and why one can never escape from Trouble.
