This book pulls back the curtain on the dark side of parks and outdoor recreation.

From unsolved murders at campgrounds and mysterious disappearances of families and children, to serial killers targeting wilderness areas, it’s a raw look at what happens when crimes hit close to home in nature.

The chapters cover real cold cases, the role of law enforcement, and how investigations unfold amidst the beauty and isolation of parks.

You’ll also find stories of the brave park rangers and law enforcement officers who put themselves on the line.

They face everything from domestic violence incidents to deadly encounters with predators.

It’s a hard look at the risks visitors face and the ongoing effort to keep parks safe, along with the lessons learned from these tragedies.

If you're interested in the mysteries, dangers, and the stories of those who protect our outdoor spaces, this book is a stark but necessary read.
