Dani Pettrey Launches a New Romantic Suspense Series
In college, Griffin McCray and his three best friends had their lives planned out. Griffin and Luke Gallagher would join the Baltimore PD. Declan Gray would head to the FBI and Parker Mitchell would go on to graduate school as a crime scene analyst. But then Luke vanished before graduation and their world--and friendships--crumbled.
Now Griffin is a park ranger at Gettysburg, having left life as a SWAT-team sniper when a case went bad. The job is mostly quiet--until the day he captures two relic hunters uncovering skeletal remains near Little Round Top. Griffin just wants the case to go away, but charming forensic anthropologist Finley Scott determines that the body is modern--a young social justice lawyer missing since spring--and all evidence points to the work of an expert sniper. When FBI agent Declan Gray takes over the case, past and present collide. Griffin soon realizes he'll need to confront some of the darkest days of his life if he--and those he cares about--are going to escape a downward spiral of murder that crosses continents.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Forensic anthropologist Finley Scott and Ranger Griffin McCray get closer to a murderous sniper as they get closer to each other in Pettrey's (Shattered) first book in her new Chesapeake Valor series. On assignment unearthing Civil War remains at Little Round Top hill on the Gettysburg, Pa., battlefield site, Scott is summoned for a late-night investigation by McCray (who works for the park) when he discovers grave diggers at work on an oddly placed grave. Expecting to discover a 19th-century corpse, they instead find a body buried sometime within the last year. Scott and McCray are joined by Declan Grey (who owns the land where the battlefield is) and CSI investigator Parker Mitchell both childhood friends of McCray's as they begin to search for the killer. As clues begin to surface, so do the obscure details of McCray's former life, intriguing and worrying the infatuated Scott. Although they are dealing with professional killers, the budding couple manages to find room for their romance and spiritual growth. Readers will empathize with the well-crafted and believable characters in this tense opening to her new series.
