Alex, a brazen entrepreneur always chasing the next big score. Ben, a grounded police cadet with steady nerves and sharp instincts. Mitch, a brilliant cyber specialist who sees patterns others miss. Three childhood friends reunite for a long-awaited camping trip in the breathtaking wilderness of Acadia National Park, seeking adventure and a chance to reconnect.
But their scenic escape shatters before it even begins.
When the three friends pull a dead body from the icy Kennebec River near Bath, Maine, they are drawn into a world of danger far beyond anything they could have imagined. The victim was no ordinary man. And what he was carrying was never meant to be found.
Pursued by forces they cannot identify and tracked by means they cannot detect, the friends realize they can trust no one. Not the local police. Not the federal agents. And perhaps not even the eccentric sea captain who ferried them to Mount Desert Island.
With danger following their trail deep into Acadia National Park, the rugged Maine wilderness becomes both their sanctuary and their deadliest trap. From the thundering waves of Ocean Path and the sheer drops of Otter Cliff to a terrifying ambush on a disappearing sandbar, the three men must leverage their unbreakable childhood bond and specialized survival skills to stay alive.
What secrets does the Maine coast hide? And can their friendship survive the deadly forces that now hunt them through the wilderness of Vacationland?
A massive storm is brewing off the Atlantic coast. The enemy is closing in. One wrong step on the slick Maine granite could mean becoming the ocean's next cold case.
Murder in Vacationland is a relentless, fast paced National Park mystery thriller that blends high stakes espionage, breathtaking outdoor adventure, and emotionally driven character suspense. Perfect for fans of Nevada Barr, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva.
This is the second book in A National Park Mystery Thriller series. Each book explores a different national park, weaving together the beauty and danger of nature with the complexities of human relationships and the dark secrets that lurk beneath the surface.
