The Cost of Wild Places

Neil Cordera has spent forty years photographing the earth's most dangerous landscapes—but nothing has prepared him for the call that his daughter is missing in Papua New Guinea's highland jungle. Simona, twenty-eight and fiercely independent, vanished during a river crossing, leaving only a set of GPS coordinates and silence. With local authorities offering little help, Neil hires a guide and plunges into rainforest that wants to swallow him whole. What he finds will force him to surrender more than his body can afford—and confront the price of a life spent chasing wild places instead of the people he loves.
