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.

Lady Katherine only has one week to catch the Pink-Ribbon Killer. Not only to stop the killing, but also to prove her skills at detection to her father and win her dowry and independence.

There’s only one catch—she has to take one last matchmaking job to do it. Never mind that the match is impossible—all the better because if she fails, then no one will seek her services again. The job provides the perfect cover, especially when her peculiar investigatory techniques are mistaken for unconventional matchmaking attempts.

Things would go a lot smoother if she weren’t knee-deep in suspects and thwarted at every turn by a rival matchmaker. But when the killer strikes again, Katherine’s investigation leads down a dangerous path. Too late, she discovers that she has a lot more to lose than her dowry.

A murdered activist. A ruthless cover-up. A storm no one can escape.

When campaigner Penny Wharton is found dead in the garden of a notorious house, Detective Inspector Joe Hogarth is dragged into a labyrinth of lies. Someone powerful is twisting the truth—and they’ll do anything to keep their secrets buried.

????? “Fast paced – difficult to put down!”

Wharton fought for justice. She made dangerous enemies. And now Hogarth must untangle a case where every suspect hides a motive—and every revelation could cost him everything.

????? “Gripping… written so vividly it’s like watching it on screen.”

But while Hogarth hunts a killer, DS Sue Palmer is being hunted herself. Local gangster Alex Galvan wants revenge—and he won’t stop until blood is spilled. As corruption tightens its grip, Hogarth and Palmer are pushed to the edge:

Their integrity.
Their careers.
Their lives…

The storm is coming—and if they fail, it will consume them all.

Perfect for fans of gritty British police thrillers, dark conspiracies, and heart-pounding suspense.

If you love Line of Duty, Broadchurch, or Luther, you’ll race through The Storm House.

Don’t wait—grab your copy now and dive into the storm.
