When the Silence Breaks by Elizabeth Goddard
A deathbed confession. A decades-old
secret. A mountain that holds the answers--and danger closing
in.
When intelligence analyst Sarah Ellison learns of her grandfather's
deathbed confession connected to her brother's murder, she's
determined to protect her remaining family. After further
investigation, she discovers the disclosed information points to a
decades-old government secret buried deep in the Cascade Mountains.
With this knowledge, she looks for a guide who knows the terrain
like the back of their hand.
After his father's death in a tragic mountain accident, former Navy
SEAL Ryder Goodwin no longer guides for the family business. At
first, Ryder refuses to help Sarah, but he sees the trouble chasing
her and can't stand by while someone brings danger to his
small-town mountain community.
Ryder and Sarah gear up to climb the mountain in a race against
time and a looming storm. When the danger escalates, their search
for answers shifts to a survival mission. Their only chance to make
it through involves trusting each other and confronting the truth
no one wants them to find.

thriller set in the Pacific Northwest from USA

Goddard is a series opener that will sweep you away in a rush of
