Descent/Tim Johnston/375 pgs.

The Courtlands are having a family vacation before 18 year-old Caitlin heads off for college. Caitlin is a runner, and ultimately wants to run in the mountains--so they head towards Colorado, where the Rocky Mountains await. Once there, Caitlin and her 15 year-old brother, Sean, go for an early morning run. Their parents receive the phone call no parent ever wants to receive: Sean was injured, and taken to the hospital. When asked about Caitlin, the sheriff says that there was only Sean that they had seen. Thus begins the hunt for Caitlin, and the fracturing of the Courtland family. This is one of the most suspenseful, beautifully written "missing person" novels I have read. Highly recommended!
