Perfect for fans of C. J. Box and William Kent Krueger, a sleepy town

is rocked to its core when a dead body is found in this debut novel.

In the quiet seaside town of Blaine, Washington, the most serious police

work involves dealing with stray coyotes or ticketing speeders along

the I-5. But on Ethan Brand's first day as the town's chief of police,

he finds a threat on his porch, along with a gruesome souvenir, a bloody

animal heart.

There are plenty of people who are upset

about Ethan replacing the last Chief, but when a body shows up on the

railroad tracks, Ethan has to turn his focus from the threats against

him to the first homicide case the town has seen in years. Blaine's

population is only five thousand, but eight million vehicles pass

through its railroad crossing every year. It's the perfect site for drug

smuggling, human trafficking, larceny, and murder.

Ethan

begins to realize that the small town has many more secrets than its

quiet surface suggests. With no one to trust, his job already on the

line, and the threats getting bolder and more reckless, Ethan Brand must

find the killers and bring them to justice before anyone else winds up

dead.
