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.

Praise for this book

"Richly detailed and filled with mysteries . . . I couldn't wait to find out what was happening to Tim." --Urban Bachelorette

"Fast-paced, the story line spins . . . into something more hazardous than hanging off a cliff at the top of the world. Readers will relish Ronald Malfi's exciting tale as the men make a dramatic ascent to the top of the world but cannot ascend man's insidious nature."' --Harriet Klausner

"A thoughtful and fun thriller that will prove hard to put down." --"Midwest Book Review"

"It will haunt you after you read the last page, giving you that delicious chill as you wonder whether what seems to have happened really did." --Marcie Brandriff, "The Online Librarian" (February 11, 2011)

"Malfi, like the great documentarians, really makes us feel as though we are there." --"Booklist"
