Katie Douglas thinks doing a mechanical inspection job at the Tawnee Mountain Resort is going to be a working vacation. But that’s before three young mountain bikers go missing while riding the trails of the mountain and a ransom note is delivered.

Partnering with a charming guest of the resort, novelist Casey Malone, Katie soon discovers there is a twisting plot possibly involving the missing men’s girlfriends and perhaps even the FBI.

When their investigation is complicated by the discovery of bomb making material in a cave on the mountain and the threat of an approaching hurricane, Katie and Casey go into overdrive to find the missing men and prevent what could be a devastating attack on an unknown target.

As Hurricane Patrick pays a rare visit to inland New Jersey, the story reaches an explosive climax as they and the staff of Tawnee Mountain Resort deal with both of these threats.

Dark Side of the Mountain is a part of the Tawnee Mountain Mysteries series, a collection of seven brand new mysteries, from seven award-winning and bestselling authors, taking place at the same final destination, the Tawnee Mountain Resort.

Randall James Rosatte was born on September 19, 1953 in Belleville, Ontario, on the shores of the Bay of Quinte. He grew up in the countryside of what locals call “The County”, Prince Edward County, a peninsula that separates the Bay of Quinte from Lake Ontario. His careers have been varied, from infantry officer in the Canadian Armed Forces to economics teacher at Loyalist College, to long-haul truck-driver and businessman. Writing has always been a passion, spawning countless short stories during school years and articles published in the Intelligencer, dealing with environmental issues. Although he has travelled extensively and visited all forty-eight lower U.S. states and eight Canadian provinces as well as four Caribbean Islands and Mexico, he has always returned to the Quinte Region where many of writings take place.
