Forest Creek

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. __________________________________________________ Praise for Forest Creek: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Forest Creek is a beautifully twisted work of art."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Mo's fight for survival in the woods kept me breathless the whole time."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Twists and turns leave you wanting more."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Forest Creek never pauses for breath-it seethes and shoves you off the edge."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""A thriller so real it hurts."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""The twist in Forest Creek kept me guessing and wondering the whole time."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""The author's narrative wit, perception, and self-assurance carried me through every shocking development."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Characters are written with a caustic wit and an unsparing voice that will haunt readers long after they've closed the book."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""This book captivated me from the very beginning-I couldn't put it down and finished it quickly.""
