"From the exhilarating whitewater opening to the satisfying ending, Scott Graham's latest outing in his National Park Mystery series, Canyonlands Carnage, is a confluence of thrills, history, and mystery as twisty as the Colorado River."

—MICKI BROWNING, Agatha Award finalist and author of Shadow Ridge

"Canyonlands Carnage, Scott Graham's gripping seventh National Park Mystery, offers thrills and spills and an insidiously vindictive killer on a whitewater rafting trip through notorious Cataract Canyon, deep in the red rock heart of one of America's most spectacular national parks. A breathtaking ride."

—KEVIN FEDARKO, author of The Emerald Mile

"In Canyonlands Carnage we visit a remote park, experience the thrills and terrors of whitewater rafting on its waters, mourn the death of an elderly scientist (hint: not a natural death), and get a huge bonus: a thoughtful and informative review of water policies and allocations in our drought-stricken Southwest. Phoenix is, as archaeologist Chuck Bender, the series lead, points out, the city most endangered by current policies.”
