    About this ebook

    CRIME WRITERS OF CANADA ARTHUR ELLIS AWARDS (WINNER, 2016) and NEXT GENERATION INDIE BOOK AWARDS (FINALIST 2016) - Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado boasts one of the most beautiful and deepest canyons in the United States. For twelve-year-old Brian Garrett, a weekend camping trip in the park promises to be an opportunity to bond with his aloof parents. But after his father suffers a horrible accident during a hike to the chasm's floor, events spiral quickly out of control, and over the next twenty-four hours Brian will uncover a terrifying dark side to his father—and an even darker side to himself.
