 "A serial killer with a crossbow. A small town full of liars. And a PI who won't stop digging."

Max Boucher travels to Cedar Peak, Idaho, to find a missing horse — a simple job, far from the shadows of Seattle. But when he stumbles onto a murder scene and an unusual weapon, simple disappears fast.

 "Everyone in Cedar Peak has secrets. Someone's secret is murder."

A mysterious confession. Hidden grudges. And a killer whose weapon of choice is as distinctive as it is deadly. The deeper Max digs, the more the town pushes back. Someone wants him gone — and they're willing to kill to keep their secrets buried.

With his loyal dog Russ as his only ally, Max follows the clues toward a solution that only seems obvious — until a twist changes everything.

"The second gripping mystery in the Max Boucher series. Perfect for fans of hardboiled PI fiction with heart."

If you haven't read Harvested (Book 1), start there. If you have — you already know Max doesn't quit.
