By Richard Ryker

A young woman is savagely murdered on a popular beach near Forks, WA. "Interesting, entertaining, well-written. I hope there are more to come in this series." "Twists and turns to keep you guessing." Former homicide detective Brandon Mattson takes command of his hometown police force just one year after his brother was killed in the line of duty. Still haunted by his brother's unsolved murder, he struggles to rein in the fledgling department while learning the ropes as a newly divorced single parent. Brandon's respite from homicide is short-lived when a missing woman's body washes ashore on the nearby Quileute Reservation. Savage fang marks and a series of ominous vampire-related graffiti point to a member of a secret blood-sucking cult. But Brandon's not so sure wannabe vampires are to blame, and it soon becomes evident that more than one person had reason to murder the young woman. Balancing the investigation, small-town politics, and parenting his fifteen-year-old daughter, Brandon is running out of time to solve the case before the bloodthirsty killer claims another victim. Fans of suspenseful mysteries with a twist will find a new favorite in homicide detective turned chief of police Brandon Mattson.
