Lost Horizon
(2022)(The ninth book in the Travels and Travails of Maile Spencer series)
A novel by Kay Hadashi
A Game of Cat and Mouse on an Olympic Level!
Getting to Death Valley, all Maile Spencer wants to do is finish her training for the Olympic ultra-marathon endurance test, and do some sightseeing. But first, she finds trouble in a dusty gulch lost in the hills. More bones have been unearthed by the sheriff investigating a serial killer, and the few clues in the case lead everyone in circles.
Long before she even gets to the race start line, she endures a late night car chase across the desert, gets run off the road by a maniac, and faces a killer waging a one-person war against justice. Not to mention fluorescent scorpions looking for late night snacks.
Her life doesn't get any easier on race day, when she deals with unsavory competitors, finds a dead body in the desert, and struggles with apparitions. When the finish line finally comes into view, she's not sure if it's real or a desert mirage playing tricks on her mind.
When all is said and done, Maile plays a high-stakes gamble, not with money, but with her life as she races across an unrelenting landscape, searching for that elusive finish line.
Genre: Mystery
