Introduction
After the death of his ex-wife, successful sculptor Tim Overleigh trades in his lucrative career for the world of extreme sports, but when a caving accident nearly ends his life, Tim falls into a self-destructive depression. On the cusp of madness, an old friend convinces him to join a team of men climbing the Godesh ridge in Nepal. When this journey of mythical and spiritual discovery rapidly turns deadly as the climbers fall victim to a murderer within their group, the remaining survivors begin to wonder if any of them will escape the mountains alive.

Note from the author: Many horror and thriller books deal with the theme of isolation—whether we’re talking about people trapped in an old hotel, on a spaceship, or stranded on the side of the road when their car breaks down. In THE ASCENT, I wanted to push the concept of isolation as far as it would go: the summit of a mountain. What happens when a handful of mountain climbers find they are…not alone…at the top of the world? That someone—or something—is watching them? That they may actually be hunted?Book Club Recommendations
