In the crisp mountain air of central Oregon, a teenage girl’s search for discarded cans leads to a horrifying discovery: a body, brutally murdered and abandoned in the woods. The case falls to Deschutes County Detective Noelle Marshall, who finds herself navigating a community steeped in secrets, suspicion, and distrust of outsiders—especially law enforcement.
Miles away, FBI Special Agent Max Rhodes investigates a different kind of darkness—chatter about a violent uprising from a shadowy militia group preparing for war. The two cases seem worlds apart. But as Noelle digs into the murdered man’s past and Max closes in on the source of the terror plot, their paths begin to converge in a terrifying way. This was no random killing. It was a message. A merciless killer and a hidden army are operating in the same shadows, and finding the link between them is the only thing standing between a single murder and a full-blown massacre.
I was quickly hooked by the first part of the story, and once Noelle was on the scene, things started piling on to bring different touches of mystery and intrigue into the plot every time we turned around. Noelle’s back story is hinted at throughout to draw in the reader, but I highly encourage you to read the first book in the series to really get the hook of her past. Great suspense, lots of twists and a back ground of affection between Noelle and Max and their family and coworkers. I’m excited for more to come in the series and highly recommend both of the existing books to anyone who enjoys a strong female police lead as she takes down the bad guys.
