But she and her wolf-dog Mutt aretaking a June break to pick wild morel mushrooms among the charred trees left by adevastating forest fire. In the ashes Kate also uncovers the mysterious corpse of a nakedman. And when she is "hired" by a ten-year-old to locate his missing dad, she fears shehas already found him. The reason how and why he died, however, is buried deeper thanhis body. Finding it will lead Kate to the remains of a woolly mammoth in a Fairbanksmuseum, back to her old lover Jack Morgan, and far afield to an isolated settlement ofreligious fundamentalists . . . as she follows a twisted road toward a smoldering evil andthe flash point for a macabre murder.
