In this atmospheric tale authoress Gwen Moffat, herself a wilderness traveller, has again created a 'first-rate mystery thatis impossible to pre-guess.' Timothy Argent, best-selling author of travel books, is following an old wagon trail across America's West, charting his progress with laconic postcards to his publisher. Suddenly all communication stops, and after six weeks the desperate editor persuades Melinda Pink to go out and find the man. As the heat-wave tightens its grip on the Sierra foothills, Miss Pink unravels the mystery of Argent's disappearance from a welter of evidence.
