Death Valley. A Thriller

A merciless desert. An unstoppable storm. Time is running out.
The Desert Sanctuary promises an exclusive escape for the ultra-wealthy, a five-star oasis in Death Valley's unforgiving landscape. But when a devastating sandstorm cuts the resort off from civilization, paradise becomes a prison—and then a killing ground.
As the storm rages and the resort burns, eight lives collide in a desperate battle for survival:- An adventure guide haunted by the child she couldn't save- An ex-military security chief obsessed with preparing for civilization's collapse- A billionaire pursuing immortality through illegal young blood treatments- His trophy wife harboring lethal secrets and desperate plans of her own- A social media influencer with a fetish for environmental sabotage- A celebrity chef whose hunger for exotic meat leads him into a deadly trap- A writer whose search for Spanish colonial treasure unearths horrors better left buried- A resort owner watching her empire crumble as the desert she tried to tame awakens with a vengeance
Behind the luxury resort's façade lies a web of lies, betrayal, and murder. As flames consume the hotel and the storm strips away all pretense of civilization, each survivor must decide how far they'll go to escape—and who they'll sacrifice along the way.
In this pressure cooker of primal instincts and deadly ambition, the only law is survival, and the only way out is through hell itself.
DEATH VALLEY is a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page. Enter a world where the desert's fury is matched only by human darkness, and no one is who they seem.
Some secrets are buried for a reason. And some will kill to keep them that way.
