Special Agent Antonio Burns has come to Colorado's Wild Fire Peak for a family reunion of sorts. He and his father plan to confront Antonio's brother Roberto, whose life is teetering on the wrong side of the law. For thirty years the Burns family have shared an addiction to dangerous extreme climbing.
Now, on their first night in the valley, violence has erupted around the Burns family. A dispute between local activists and developers leaves a young man dead and Roberto accused. Thus begins a perilous journey through the jagged peaks - in a harrowing novel of the bonds between brothers, the secrets men kill to hide, and the kind of injustice that can save lives . . . or shatter them forever.
