When she isn’t working on her next book, she’s hiking with her two dogs on her favorite mountain trails and spending time with her family.

Now he’s gone, leaving her a teenage orphan in the care of her aunt whose police officer husband uses his badge as a means to bully and control Hailey. Overwhelmed by grief and forbidden to work, socialize, or date, Hailey vanishes into the mountainous terrain, hoping everyone will believe she’s left town. Rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer who’s claimed another victim over the summer.One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek, where her sister Amber lived and where she was murdered.
