YANational Parks Mystery series.
In a set-up too reminiscent of Wolf Stalker (the series opener), Jack and Ashley, along with Lucky, a teenage foster child, accompany their veterinarian mother on her latest mission: to investigate cougar attacks in Mesa Verde National Park. Anthropological details about the ancient cliff dwellers are woven into the narrative, and Jack's showdowns with a cougar and with Lucky--whom he both likes and mistrusts--make for a riveting read.
