The first book in the bestselling mystery series by R.L. Ryker.

Murder lurks in the shadows of the Pacific Northwest’s Olympic Mountains.

A year after his brother is killed in the line of duty, former homicide detective Brandon Mattson returns to Forks, WA to take command of his hometown’s fledgling police force. Brandon’s respite from homicide is short-lived when a body washes ashore on the nearby Quileute Reservation.

Vicious fang marks on the victim’s neck and an ominous warning to the town’s residents point to members of a local cult. But Brandon isn’t so sure wannabe vampires are to blame, and it soon becomes evident that more than one person had reason to murder the young woman.

Balancing a homicide investigation, small-town politics, and raising a fifteen-year-old daughter, Brandon is running out of time to solve the case before the bloodthirsty killer claims another victim.
