Before the detective badge. Before Broc. Before the new beginning.
K-9 Officer Indira “Indie” Reign has always trusted her instincts—and her aging partner, Satch, a loyal shepherd whose body is failing even as his spirit holds strong. When a young girl vanishes near an abandoned industrial site, time and terrain are against them. But help arrives in the unlikeliest form…a headstrong Belgian Malinois with a nose for trouble and no idea how to play by the rules.
As danger closes in and lives hang in the balance, Indie will have to rely on both dogs—one nearing his last shift, the other just beginning—to pull off a daring rescue.
And when the dust settles, a new path opens. One that leads straight back to the hometown Indie swore she’d never return to.
You can twist the truth, but you can’t escape it.
Following her recent move back to the small Appalachian town where she grew up, memories shrouded in mystery haunt Indie Reign at every turn. Her family brutally taken. Her grandmother’s unexplainable disappearance. And her unique gift with animals that no one can know about. Especially now that she’s the Sherwood County Sheriff Department’s new probationary K-9 detective.

Except he didn’t.
The coroner’s report says he was cancer-free, and his wife and his mistress both swear he wouldn’t jump. So what happened on that cliff? Read More

It’s every police officer, parent, teacher, and student’s worst nightmare.
An active shooter.
The students have trained for it. Run. Hide. Fight. But nothing could have prepared them for the scene unfolding inside the labyrinthine halls of the school. Read More
What’s done is buried. But what’s buried isn’t done.
Before Sherwood County can recover from a harrowing active shooter situation, the beloved wife of a prominent doctor is found strangled in her home. When the sheriff assigns Detective Indie Reign the case, she knows it’s going to be a sensitive one—the victim is friends with the sheriff.
But before she’s even finished questioning the victim’s husband, another body turns up. In a suitcase.
Then a third.
And each case is grislier and more disturbing than the last. Read More
