Mad River Nuthouse

In the swirling ghostly vortex of Colorado's Black Forest plateau three families join forces in a race to protect unlawfully committed mental patients from having their memories erased...forever. When Jessie McKenzie and her twin brother Alex Austin became co-owners of Mad River Ranch along with their spouses Duncan and Molly they envisioned a family compound with enough space for active children and expanding businesses. What they could not foresee were unexplained snatches of whispered conversations the sounds of faraway laughter a humidor that can't seem to stay in one place and the unaccountable smell of night-blooming jasmine mingled with cigar smoke. Thus begins the remarkable adventure of Mad River Nuthouse. A dangerous plot is uncovered to kidnap and confine patients in a nearby mental institution and the Mad River Ranch family rushes to the rescue-joined by a group of veteran cowboys the members of the Black Forest Wind Riders all-girl biker gang expert hackers in the computer field followers of Sun Tzu's The Art of War an oversized llama with growth-hormone issues and a vegan grizzly bear. With a force this strong the enemies of the Mad River Ranch Gang must surely be outnumbered-but the bad guys have an arsenal of antipsychotic drugs that actually cause psychosis a motley crew of sociopathic mercenaries and a corrupt judge at their disposal...and it's all up to the Mad River Ranch Gang to save the day.
