The Copper Mesa Passage

Lena Ortiz came back to Copper Mesa County for a short mapping job—not

to confront the accident that took her brother's life. But a blank

space on an emergency map leads her to a forgotten passage through the

red-rock canyons, just as a powerful storm traps six field researchers

beyond a damaged flood-control system.

With rising water cutting off every familiar route, Lena joins a

ranger and an engineer to find a way into the canyon. Their rescue

becomes a second, even more dangerous mission when they discover that

decades of altered surveys and neglected machinery have put an entire

valley in jeopardy. To bring everyone home, they must rely on old

maps, difficult choices, and the people willing to face the truth

about what was lost.

The Copper Mesa Passage is an adventure novel of wilderness survival,

courage, teamwork, and second chances—where the most important route

is the one that leads people safely home.
