"Mystery fans who prefer their whodunits in a cozier form than the old school hard-boiled will be pleased." -IndieReader ApprovedA mysterious fire in a remote forest clearing; a woman's charred bones; unexplained tracks in the rutted road-the only clues Deputy Andi Pelton has to what happened. Then she meets an old man living alone in a forest compound that obviously houses many people. Sex trafficking in the Montana wilderness? As Andi and psychologist Ed Northrup struggle to solve the brutal and fiery murder, Andi faces a fear she didn't know she had. The horrors they unearth lead them deep into the appalling reality of prison gangs and a cult led by a malign Bishop-and threaten to overwhelm Andi and Ed's romance and her growing bond with her "step-girlfriend," Ed's adopted daughter, Grace. Will that center hold when Andi finds the killer holding a knife against her throat? And if it does and she succeeds, will she be able to face her greater fear?
