When Ryne Burdette inherits his family’s old hunting cabin deep in the Yukon wilderness, he wants to say no.

But after a tragic year, he sees a weekend trip to the cabin with his best friends as a way to recuperate and begin again. There is something strange about these woods. As a winter storm moves in, the animals begin acting strangely, and the natural laws of the wilderness seem to fall apart. Then, the soft voices start whispering through the trees. Something is watching them. As the storm gets worse and the woods get darker, the three friends must dive into the darkest waters of the Burdette family lineage. Because the horrible truth is deep, resting in the shadowed places no one wants to look.

“As I watch the wake of the boat melt into the rolling waves, I feel I’m watching my entire past slip away behind me. Only the present remains. The terrible, poisoned present…” ***NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS: A previous version of this novel was published as Fishermen’s Court (Black Rose Writing, 2019). It has been substantively edited and revised for this publication. I’m a second-rate artist living a solitary existence in my late parents’ rundown house. So why would a team of killers want to murder me and frame it as a suicide? Seems a fact worth knowing. I survive the ordeal only to discover my would-be executioners left behind a suicide note written in words that sound uncannily like mine. But that’s not the most disturbing part. The note reveals a secret from my past nobody could possibly know about—one that’s been haunting my life for eighteen years. I escape to Musqasset Island, Maine, my former home, to seek refuge with my best friend Miles (and okay, maybe to see if my old flame still carries an ember for me). But a powerful coastal storm is about to strike. And no sooner does the ferry dock than I realize I’m trapped on the island with the very psychos I’m running from—and with old debts that need to be paid. In O negative. My only hope for survival, and redemption, is to figure out who’s trying to kill me and why they’ve waited eighteen years to act—no easy task in a raging nor’easter, where nothing is on solid ground. Including my own mind. But there’s one thing my attackers don’t know. When they failed to kill me, they brought me back to life. “That rarest of beasts, a thriller that genuinely thrills.” – William Lashner, NY Times Bestselling thriller author
