Calaveras Crime

The bullet missed. The nightmare didn't. Psychologist Maureen "Mo" Yamaguchi just wanted a quiet day of fly fishing. Instead, she got a bullet-and a blood–soaked chase through the trees. With nothing but instinct to guide her, Mo is forced to survive the night in a forest that seems determined to finish her off. Miles away, Kate Callahan receives a garbled, desperate call from Mo. With law enforcement dragging their boots and the sun sinking fast, Kate follows her gut and brings along her grandson Gus, a teen with demons of his own and a deep bond to the woods. With every step, Kate and Gus draw closer to uncovering what really happened to Mo-and what's stalking them all. A psychological crime thriller packed with emotional weight and rural grit, Forest Creek is part of the Calaveras Crime Series-an unflinching collection of standalone thrillers where the land is wild, and the past never stays buried.
