Death Valley

A Thriller

A merciless desert. An unstoppable storm. No way out.

The Desert Sanctuary promises an exclusive escape for the ultra-wealthy—a five-star oasis in Death Valley's unforgiving landscape. But when a devastating sandstorm cuts the resort off from civilization, paradise becomes a prison. Then a killing ground.

Eight guests. Eight deadly secrets. A billionaire chasing immortality through illegal treatments. His trophy wife with lethal plans of her own. An eco-saboteur. A survivalist security chief. A guide haunted by the child she couldn't save. And a writer whose hunt for Spanish colonial treasure unearths horrors better left buried.

As flames consume the hotel and the storm strips away all pretense of civilization, each survivor must decide how far they'll go to escape—and who they'll sacrifice along the way.

In Death Valley, the only law is survival. The only way out is through hell itself.

Some secrets are buried for a reason. And some will kill to keep them that way.

A standalone action-adventure survival thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, J.F. Penn.
