Murder Ridge

Miles from civilization. Minutes from death.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Bev Pettersen comes another heart-pounding K9 mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page.

Private investigator Nikki Drake thought she was heading to California's remote Marble Mountains for a simple insurance claim—investigating a researcher's accidental death. But when she and her German Shepherd partner Gunner join an isolated hunting expedition, they discover the mountains harbor far more dangerous secrets than anyone imagined.

As Nikki digs deeper, she uncovers a deadly conspiracy involving illegal mining, environmental destruction, and killers willing to eliminate anyone who threatens their million-dollar operation. Trapped in the wilderness with murderers among the hunting party, Nikki must rely on Gunner's protective instincts and her own hard-won investigative skills to stay alive. But in terrain where a single misstep can be fatal and trust is a luxury she can't afford, even their powerful partnership may not be enough.

With time running out and nowhere to run, Nikki faces her most terrifying case yet. In these mountains, the predators walk on two legs. And they're hunting her.
