The Ghost Trees

Modern biotechnology crosses paths with ancient native wisdom as Peyton McKean and Fin Morton follow the thread of evidence in this tale of murder among the stumps of a long-dead forest. McKean's wits and scientific skills are tested by baffling clues at the scene, and the odd behavior of an old Duwamish Indian who seems to know more than he is telling. The answers are to be found in a fern-choked grotto where the spirits of forest giants seem to be watching the comings and goings of men--and waiting.
