"Danika Stone is a stone cold thriller genius." -Gareth L Powell, award-winning author of Ragged Alice and the Embers of War trilogy

“Tightly woven with suspense and vivid, compelling prose, this third book of the series is proof of Ms. Stone’s talent as a master storyteller in the Thriller genre.” -International bestselling author S.J. Pierce

Rich Evans is desperate to say goodbye to his past in New York and embrace a future in Waterton with fiancee Louise Newman, a small-town mechanic with an uncanny gift of foresight. But even Lou's warnings are not enough to avoid the new troubles threatening the isolated border town. Rich returns to Waterton to discover the body of his estranged ex-girlfriend has been found in a remote mountain lake.

Constable Sadie Black Plume uncovers grisly details linking Gabrielle's murder to a web of organized crime with connections to all layers of Waterton's close-knit community. With Rich as the main suspect, Rich and Lou are forced to prove his innocence in a small town where the term 'outsider' can be applied to anyone who wasn't born there.

D.K. Stone/Danika Stone is an author, artist, and educator who discovered a passion for writing fiction while in the throes of her Masters thesis. A self-declared bibliophile, Stone now writes novels for both teens: Switchback (Macmillan, 2019), Internet Famous (Macmillan, 2017) and All the Feels (Macmillan, 2016); and adults: Fall of Night (Stonehouse, 2020) The Dark Divide (Stonehouse, 2018) and Edge of Wild (Stonehouse, 2016).

When not writing, Danika can be found hiking in the Rockies, planning grand adventures, and spending far too much time online. She lives with her husband, three sons, and a houseful of imaginary characters in a windy corner of Canada, Lethbridge, Alberta.
