What price is too great to stop a killing spree?

Elizabeth Benoit ran for sheriff to wipe out the corruption in the good old boys network of Eckardt County, but she has yet to break in her shoes when a stranger’s body is found in a ravine. With her ex back in town, a new deputy detective on the edge of losing control, and a crooked ex-sheriff out for revenge, Elizabeth’s resources are stretched thin. And then the second body drops.

Fearing a serial killer on the loose, Elizabeth launches an investigation that lays bare more than one family secret: The Kauffmann matriarch is full of advice, but her progeny have a mean streak that leaves a path of destruction in their wake. The Meyer patriarch has his own agenda, and the Kauffmanns have been a thorn in his ambition for too long.

Elizabeth and her deputies are about to face off against odds that are not in their favor. Only one source can tip the scales, but will she sell her soul for his help?

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

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

Former major crimes 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 and a series of ominous vampire-related graffiti 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.
