Alex Carter is at it again in the third book of the wildlife biologist doing her best to save endangered species.

This time the Selkirk mountains of North-Eastern Washington State is the setting for this fast-moving thriller with townspeople at odds with loggers, activists, and enough angst to keep things moving at a fast pace.

Hired by the Land Trust for Wildlife Conservation to locate a mountain caribou that has possibly wandered in old growth forest (that a logging company wants cut down), Alex is thrust into desperately wanting to save this supposedly extinct animal, and stumbling on a murder in the wild. Which puts her once again alone with a target on her back, and all the thrills and chills.

What I really liked about this series also, is at the end of each book, the author talks about the endangered species of the book, the reality of their survival currently, and what those of us who care can do to help. Plus actually tells exactly what can be done and how.

If you are in a book club, I'd highly recommend this series for discussion. There are 3 books in the series so far, and I hope more to come.
