A teenaged track star and her younger brother go for a run while on a vacation with their parents in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. An incident occurs, the boy is found in the woods badly wounded and his sister is missing. Descent by Tim Johnston is a novel that kept me up late at night so I could read "just one more chapter." But then I would read another chapter or two after that...you know how that goes! The mystery of what happened to the sister is intriguing, of course, but also interesting is the way each of her family members handles her disappearance. Worth the read!
