Book Synopsis:

Margo Fletcher, eight months pregnant, is traveling by train from Chicago to Spokane, her childhood home. While passing through an isolated portion of the Rockies in blizzard conditions, the train unexpectedly brakes. Up ahead, deadly snow from a massive avalanche plummets down the mountain. Despite the conductor’s order for the passengers to stay seated, former Army Ranger Nick Eliot insists that survival depends on moving to the back of the train. Only Margo believes him. They take refuge in the last train car, which Nick heroically uncouples in time to avoid the avalanche. The rest of the train is hurled down the mountainside and is soon lost forever in a blanket of snow. Margo and Nick, the sole survivors, are stranded in the snowstorm without food, water, or heat. Rescuers might not arrive for days.

When the weather turns violent again, the pair must flee the shelter of the passenger car and run for their lives into the wilderness. They must fend off the deadly cold as well as predatory wild animals foraging for food. Eventually, Nick leads Margo to shelter in a watchtower atop a mountain. There, we learn that both Margo and Nick have secrets that have brought them together and threaten to destroy them.

Cover Your Tracks is a chilling story of love and hate, the devastating power of nature, and the will to survive.

Book Synopsis:⁠
⁠
In 2030, a high school election in Hawthorn, Indiana perfectly mirrors the embedded polarization of Washington D.C. Winning justifies whatever a candidate can get away with. The stakes are high. American institutions, including public schools, are crippled by a $30 trillion national debt. Governments depend on large corporations, with agendas, to pay the bills. One of the agendas is grooming charismatic high school and college students for political office in Washington. Corporations only back students with the ambition and instincts to win, and put them secretly on payroll. There isn’t much opposition. Interest in voting has been muted by a decade of virus-induced paranoia. anxiety and paranoia.

In Hawthorn, Indiana, an idealistic senior with little political experience and only a handful of friends, shocks the student body by running against the odds-on favorite, a football star that she happens to have a crush on. She believes the school administration is hiding some shocking secrets and promises to expose them. A beloved history teacher, against school rules, quietly takes Britain under his wing to shape her campaign.

Matthew and his well-oiled political team methodically destroy Britain’s reputation on social media, with the help of a complicit administration. Brit and her friends refuse to buckle under. As they begin to reveal school secrets.

Matthew pretends to be unfazed. but his future in Washington, and his family’s climb out of poverty, are at risk. The corporation keeps up the pressure on him to win. Instead, living a double life, he embarks on a journey of self-liberation. Britain catches on. She knows she can deliver a knock-out blow to Matthew’s candidacy. Her friends urge her on.⁠
