Vanished in Bitterroot Mountains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781520811536)

Two FBI Agents missing in action. A relentless investigator driven by a sense of justice. Can Agent Karen Clark unravel the mystery?

This is a murder mystery that grows into a much larger tale of intrigue and suspense. The story takes place in North-western Montana, Big Sky country. This part of America is renowned for its wide-open spaces and modest way of life. Most people live close to the land.

Some of the key characters in this story are cattle ranchers. Modern cattle ranching is tough and demanding work, and knowledge of finance and modern methods is a key component. This difficult work creates tough individuals.

Most of the people in this part of the country have libertarian leanings. Many on the left call that conservative, as if conservative thought is something evil. It is not. It is about respect for themselves and caring about the people around them. The basic ideas of conservative or libertarian thought is that of individual freedom, rights, responsibilities, and desires. Each to live their own life however they choose.

From that toughness comes a fear of failing, and an unwillingness to accept defeat. That's what happens to the Kimble Ranch, when financial failures and mismanagement drive the ranch close to financial disaster, and to one brother, it seems like there is only one way out.

When two FBI field agents go missing in the area, Agent Karen Clark is assigned to the case. Circumstances force her to resort to the most basic levels of investigation, in order to get any help in solving this case. Does her strategy result in success?
