Synopsis

CASCADE TARGET: THE LOST RAILWAY
Book One of The Pursuit Series

A century-old secret buried in the Cascades. A legendary train lost to time. And two people who never expected to become targets.

THE WELLINGTON DISASTER - 1910: In the aftermath of America's deadliest avalanche, bank robber William Corbyn survives the catastrophe that claimed nearly 100 lives. Escaping with stolen gold and the heart of a young woman named Emma, he hides his fortune in a remote mountain tunnel. His secret will shape his family's destiny for generations.

THE DEADLY PRESENT: Journalist Erik Wiedner and biologist Amelia Thompson are enjoying a scenic railway journey when their train makes an unscheduled stop in the Rockies. Through the windows, they witness a murder that will change their lives forever. Hot on their trail is Orson Corbyn, a ruthless descendant of William, whose obsession with finding his great-grandfather's lost fortune has turned deadly.

As Erik and Amelia race from the wilderness of Vancouver Island through Seattle and into Montana's rugged terrain, they realize they've stumbled into a century-old vendetta. With danger closing in from all sides, Erik and Amelia must solve the mystery of the lost railway before they become its final victims.
