What are Will and James doing in the Bradshaw Mountains? Here's another peek inside Catching Karma, the new James McCarthy adventure.

Will sighed and didn’t say another word. He sat quietly watching the fire die as he sipped his coffee and ate breakfast. James brushed his teeth and freshened up with a couple of wet-wipes before putting on a clean shirt. After Will finished his coffee, they went about the business of breaking down camp and repacking their gear. As James tightened the final strap securing the top flap of his pack, something caught his eye.
“Hey!” James pointed to the west. “Someone’s coming.”
Will jumped and spun 180 degrees as his hand landed on the gun strapped to his belt. He relaxed his stance immediately when he saw the sun glint off the gold star pinned to the man’s chest. The officer’s brown and tan uniform blended into the landscape. Had it not been for the movement of his steady gait, James might never have seen him until he was right on top them.
