The Glades

"The Glades is a spellbinding potboiler that keeps readers holding their breath up to the very end." -Megan Davidson, author of The Thundering
Maddy Reynolds can't escape the world of criminals and harm's way, no matter how hard she tries. After leaving her job in Upstate NY, the retired detective moves to the Adirondacks, but the humpback mountains and endless beauty can't keep evil out.
A guy follows her at the airport, a car takes off after killing the man she's meeting with for lunch, a woman calls, begging for help, and Maddy knows something's amiss, but she doesn't know what.
Powerful men who purchased sex slaves send Naomi White, Maddy's long-time nemesis, for a ledger that contains their names. Naomi believes Maddy has it; if she doesn't find it, she knows they'll kill her.
Maddy must resurrect her detective skills and reach deep for the strength to endure a relentless onslaught by Naomi and others to survive the ordeal.
