Author Cam Torrens returns with his sophomore novel, “False Summit.” After introducing readers to Tyler Zahn, flaws, skills, and all in his first book, “Stable,” he returns with more action-packed search and rescue.
Kristee Li, a real-life Wonder Woman in Z Man’s eyes. Having done all the 14ers Colorado has to offer and a level of competence for the Arkansas River rivaling Yo-Yo Ma’s knowledge of the cello, Tyler ‘Z Man’ Zahn knows there’s no better person to respond to a Search and Rescue (SAR) call than Li herself. So, when a call comes in for hikers missing on the Three Apostles trail, Zahn prioritizes his classes and stays behind to focus on his reserve deputy academy training instead. However, when Kristee doesn’t return he can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to her disappearance.
With alternating points of view from Tyler Zahn’s present predicament to Kristee Li in the lead up to her disappearance, readers begin to gather the unraveling pieces in Kristee’s life. Suddenly, we are left wondering if maybe her disappearance wasn’t an accident at all, and Zahn seems to be the only one determined to find her as he unwaveringly seeks to uncover the truth.
