Leave no Trace by A. J. Landau

 Leave No Trace is actually by two authors, Jon Land and Jeff Ayers, who have made up the pseudonym,  A. J. Landau.

This book, like all "beach read"s is an entirely forgetttable book. I returned it to the libray before I wrote about it and now I now have to stop and think hard to remember what it was about. Of course, that may say more about my memory recall than the book. Anyway, the story is about someone or some nafarious oirganization targeting the US national parks, starting with the Statue of Liberty. So, a successful attack on the Statue of Liberty on page 1 should catch the reader's attention right away. Like typical beach reads, this book moves fast with short chapters that end with mini-cliffhangers to keep you wanting to go to the next chapter. 

The protagonist, Michael Walker, is a National Park Special Agent, if there is any such position. As in all such mystery thrillers, the story is far-fetched and the connections between people and events are tenuous. But, who cares about such things when the story wants you to keep reading and you just want to kill some time either on a beach or waiting for a flight.
