Milla's first date with Jason Ward ends in disaster and triggers a whirlwind of events that begin with kidnapping (Jason claims for her protection, but she loses confidence in him after finding herself locked in the cluttered basement of an abandoned pioneer school house) and end, at least in the short term, with a solo cross-country hike through the West Desert, where she encounters a runaway Shoshone kid, a camp of gypsies with a stunning array or four-wheelers, taxidermy, and oriental rugs, and a one-eyed hobo straight out of Homer.
Jason took her up the mountain to the topmost reaches of his dad's most recent housing development to watch the full moon rise over Utah Lake below. But when Milla, impatient for the date's inevitable endgame, finally makes her move, the ground gives way under the front wheels of the car, and they plummet fifty feet through the winter air and into the living room of one of the hundreds of cookie-cutter L. Frank Ward tract homes. Jason's dad, Mr. Ward himself--polished, stylish, articulate, and yet somehow greasy--shows up with all the insurance adjusters and paramedics. Something about the way he takes charge sets Milla on edge and brings to mind some of the strange disappearances from Saratoga Springs, Utah, over the past several years, including that of her own father.

Mount Haven
Prologue: The Letter That day went like any other. I parked my mom's old Ford Escape in the driveway. I had just gotten off work, and it was my last day. Before I walked into the house, I grabbed the mail. A cool breeze whipped past me. I began to look through the mail, like routine and headed inside. There was a cream-colored envelope with big blocky letters saying "Arielle Lancaster." Which would be acceptable only if it wasn't from a place I've never heard of before. "Mount Haven"... might be a scam. Right? The lettering looks like something from the government. Curiosity washed over me, and I opened it. I walked inside to see my parents were gone. I shrugged it off and headed to my room. My eyes began to skim the letter. "To the next of kin of Leah Fletcher," The letter began. Who is that? My eyes jumped to the next thing to catch my eye. "You now fully own 1582 Everest Drive, Mount Haven, Maine. You will need to come and take care of this property." My eyes then jumped to the bottom of the letter. "If you have any questions, please contact me at 723-356-7891." I grabbed my phone. My body began to shake. "Hello?"I asked.Complete
