State trooper Daniel Reilly never thought he’d wind up in his stepmother’s favorite movie. Chasing a suspected drunk driver through Washington’s desolate Okanogan Highlands is part of his job, but crashing his cruiser and waking up in a ghost town definitely isn’t. And when that ghost town starts to come to life? His version of Brigadoon is not a carefree musical.

From the Inside Flap

On the road to nowhere.

Less than twenty feet ahead of me, a cluster of weirdly flickering lights wavered across the road like giant fireflies in the woods, except we don't have fireflies here. Not flashlights, the light was too yellow. And were those people? Vague shadows, and I couldn't tell if they were moving or not. My gut made me slam on the brakes even though I knew better. Not that it did any good. The Crown Vic squirted across the mud as if I'd hit the gas instead. I heard someone scream, even through the rolled-up windows. I steered into the skid trying to regain control, but I might as well have yanked the steering wheel loose for all the good it did me.

The very last thing I remember was seeing one of those damned orange larches careening through the windshield straight at me.

About the Author

M.M. Justus spent most of her childhood summers in the back seat of a car, traveling with her parents to almost every national park west of the Mississippi and a great many places in between. She holds degrees in British and American literature and history and library science, and a certificate in museum studies. In her other life, she's held jobs as far flung as hog farm bookkeeper, music school secretary, professional dilettante (aka reference librarian), and museum curator, all of which are fair fodder for her fiction. Her other interests include quilting, gardening, meteorology, and the travel bug she inherited from her father. She lives on the rainy side of the Cascade mountains in Washington state, within easy reach of all of its mysterious places.

"A GRAND yarn you can't put down." Janet Chapple, author of Yellowstone Treasures, on Repeating History.

"The details paint a word picture so vivid that readers can see the story play out in their minds."

Steve Dunkelberger, Tacoma Weekly, on True Gold.

I am fascinated by the possibilities of what if. The memories of place that some people call ghosts, the möbius effect of time travel. You won't find vampires or werewolves in my books, I'm afraid. Or horror. I am more interested in the potential effects of the fantastic on normal folks, and in inserting it into well-researched historical events, populated mostly by people who really lived.

I'm also an avid student of the road, and Cross-Country will not be my last travel adventure book.

Desert Red Hen
5.0 out of 5 stars Eerie. Unsettling. Atmospheric.
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
This newest book by Meg Justus, like her earlier Yellowstone series, places its protagonist in a different time from his own. Unlike the Yellowstone series, this is a darkly mysterious, uncertain situation he finds himself in. Like Dan Reilly, the reader also must look carefully for clues to determine the landscape of the novel. The fact that you're never quite sure what is the truth behind Dan's experiences and the people he meets lends the book a dream-like air. I couldn't put it down, but I kept listening for Rod Serling's voice as narrator.

4.0 out of 5 stars All crucial for a good read. Justus gets all three right
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2014

People. Places. Plot. All crucial for a good read. Justus gets all three right.

We meet the characters in this first of the series and are immediately intrigued. They are people we want to know. The troubled trooper. The mysterious Amy. The maybe more mysterious Audrey and Max. And all those others who walk through the tale that we want to know even better, and we will.

It has been a long time since I visited Concunully, and I wasn't much into history when I lived in the Okanogan region, but the place is so right--the feel of it is perfect.

And the plotline--is this a time travel novel like Justus's earlier Time in Yellowstone series? Maybe. Is it a love story? An adventure? A mystery? Justus adds just enough of each that you may have to decide for yourself--and just enough to make Sojourn a great read.

I can't wait for the next in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original, well-written creative story
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2017

Really enjoyed this fascinating world the author created and the mystery behind Conconully and its inhabitants - the story kept me turning pages! There's also a nice, sweet romance as a side story, which was also enjoyable, but the real draw to me was the "mystery" (can't say more, otherwise it would be a spoiler). Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great First Visit to the Unearthly Northwest
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
I've read the other two Tales of the Unearthly Northwest, but for some reason, I had not read this one. It is just as good as Reunion and the short story.

I quite enjoyed it. I love the whole idea of the town that time forgot, and I love the whole part where the two main characters don't quite know what's going on with the Twilight Zone factor. Of course, they start figuring it out along the way, as best they can with some of the hindrances on them. It's not the why that is really important anyway, but the impact it's had. (Of course, you want to know the why.)

I love the main character's voice, and how he approaches the problem, even though it is driving him a little crazy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Premise
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
The premise for this book was interesting and engaging, but I had a hard time fully engaging with the main character. Because of the first person viewpoint, it took me a while to relate to the main character as male. Also, a few of the events didn't make sense to me. I never fully understood the main characters dislike of his family and "real life" situation.

Another win for Meg Justus! I could not put this book down, and am eagerly awaiting the sequel. Her writing style is flowing, the descriptions are smooth and inviting. You can clearly see the places she writes about, even if you've never been there; her books are an invitation to travel. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing time travel romance
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014

I really enjoyed the story, full of interesting characters. Its not much of a mystery to the reader what has happened to the main character ("Brigadoon without the music") but his journey of discovery is nonetheless engrossing. A good read!
