Escaping from lingering obsessive memories of a brutal and senseless mass murder in Boston, chef Reece Gilmore finds herself applying for the job of cook at a local diner in Angel’s Fist Wyoming. The menu and the kitchen are not quite what she’s trained for, but the calm scenery of the Grand Tetons make up for what the diner may be lacking. But as soon as she plans to settle in and take a relaxing hike to enjoy the scenery she witnesses a woman strangled to death on a lonely trail. But when she reports this to the local police they find no trace of the crime. Then strange and threatening things start happening in her apartment

A master of her craft, Roberts delivers both sensuality and suspense in this tale. The sensuality is not limited to the romantic encounters of Reece and her new lover, but also in the details of the food and the beauty of the land, and the thrills come from threats both psychological and physical.
