FBI Special Agent Raleigh Harmon novels always bring edge-of-your-seat suspense. When a routine case turns deadly, this forensic geologist finds her career on the rocks . . .and her life at stake.
Special Agent Raleigh Harmon is good at her job, but not as good at bureau politics. As one of the few females on the team, she finds herself in a strange land when she's transferred from Richmond to drought-stricken Seattle. When a hiker suddenly goes missing and a ransom note arrives, Raleigh realizes there's no time for transitions. Vowing to find the missing college girl, she must rely on her forensic geology skills to uncover the truth, leaving no stone unturned.
Gritty and poetic, with an evocative sense of place, a quirky cast of characters, a fast-twisting plot, and a compelling, complicated heroine, this superbly crafted mystery will keep you reading compulsively as hope runs short, the clock runs down, and the rivers run dry.
. . . creative descriptions . . . authentic dialogue . . . she has that certain X factor . . . * Novel Journey *
. . . gifted novelist . . . more than once I found myself awed by her vivid word pictures. * Crosswalk *
