Four days alone in the desert. Except they are not as alone as they think.
A year ago, cousins Katie and Aster survived a night that tore their friendship apart. Hoping to heal, they set out to hike forty-nine miles through Utah’s wild backcountry. The desert is beautiful and brutal, a place they know well—until everything begins to go wrong.
An illness. A storm. A stranger’s smile that hides too much. When a young couple disappears after a violent fight, Katie and Aster are left with a terrible choice: keep themselves alive or search for a girl who may already be dead.
Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Young Adult Novel, 49 Miles Alone is a pulse-pounding survival thriller from bestselling author Natalie Richards.
