Paul Wood can’t believe it. While hiking in the Himalayas he comes upon a fellow trekker, sitting against an abandoned Nepalese building—his skull crushed, and for good measure, a pair of Swiss Army knives plunged into his eyes.But the real horror of this scene is that Paul has been here before. Laura, his girlfriend, dead on the beach in Cameroon, her eyes horribly mutilated.
In a debut novel that travels deep into the little known culture of young backpackers searching for their next hit of adventure, writer and world traveler Jon Evans has created a memorable twenty-something hero whose high-altitude smarts and high-tech Internet savvy propel him to solve a terrible crime.
An irresistible, action-packed read that begs for a sequel—and a movie—Dark Places is the ideal summer travel destination: you’ll never want to leave.
