A high-altitude thriller that will take your breath away--Cecily Wong is on her most dangerous climb yet， miles above sea level。 But the elements are nothing compared to one chilling truth: There's a killer on the mountain。

Journalist Cecily Wong is in over her head。 She's come to Manaslu， the eighth-highest peak in the world， to interview internationally famous mountaineer Charles McVeigh on the last leg of a record-breaking series of summits。 She's given up everything for this story--her boyfriend， her life savings， the peace she's made with her climbing failures in the past--but it's a career-making opportunity。 It could finally put her life back on track。

But when one climber dies in what everyone else assumes is a freak accident， she fears their expedition is in danger。 And by the time a second climber dies， it's too late to turn back。 Stranded on a mountain in one of the most remote regions of the world， she'll have to battle more than the elements in a harrowing fight for survival against a killer who is picking them off one by one。
