Windslab: An Avalanche Survival Thriller

The mountain agreed with her. Nobody else did. Avalanche forecaster Sutton Reyes digs one more snow pit before sunrise and finds exactly what she was afraid of: a slope loaded wrong, a weak layer ready to go, and a hundred and forty investors about to be guided across it for a single perfect photograph. She calls it considerable. She recommends the bowl stays closed. Nineteen minutes later, someone with more authority and less patience changes the public-facing danger rating from considerable to moderate. Minutes after that, five people are buried under it-including a fifteen-year-old boy who was never supposed to be more than a photo op, and a resort executive four thousand feet below who has just decided that a livestream matters more than a search-and-rescue callout. Sutton has to keep them alive through a second night, a second slide, and a storm that's rewriting the mountain in real time-while the evidence of what really happened that morning survives on a device no one else knows still exists. Some slopes don't forgive a mistake. This one is about to find out whether it forgives a cover-up. A tight, unputdownable survival thriller for readers of Zero Fathoms and Ballast-read it in one sitting.
