Those Who Wish Me Dead

Jace Wilson is trying to overcome his fear of heights. That’s all. He doesn’t mean to find the body, and he sure doesn’t mean to see the two men kill another. Now Jace has to disappear. Most teens would love to ditch their parents and go on an adventure, but not like this, not with those to steely-eyed men wanting him dead. Jamie Bennett approaches Ethan Serbin in the wilds of Montana’s mountains. He is the best at survival training. Jamie had been through the course and trusted him. She knew he worked with kids in the summers and she wanted to send Jace to Ethan, but Jace would have a new name and even Ethan wouldn’t know which one he was. Ethan’s wife doesn’t like it, but he agrees to do it. When seven boys show up for survival training, Ethan takes every precaution, but things start to go terribly wrong. The local sheriff is dead, a forest fire is climbing the mountain, and Ethan’s wife sends an emergency message.

Michael Koryta has written an absolute thriller with more heart-stopping twists and turns than the most sophisticated roller coaster, and reading this book is an amazing ride. Get this one!
