What She Knew

K-9 Search & Rescue Mysteries, Book 3

She's kept the secret for twenty-five years. Tonight, she's going to tell it.

The night Brianna Hartley vanished, Dorothy Keller was working the front desk of the Elk Creek hostel. She saw Brianna come in. She saw the man who came for her. And she saw them leave together, Brianna walking into the darkness with someone who wasn't the boyfriend everyone blamed.

For twenty-five years, Dot kept silent. Took the money. Looked the other way. Watched an innocent man carry the weight of suspicion while the real killer walked free.

Now she's dying, and she can't take the secret with her.

When Dot's confession points toward one of Elk Creek's most powerful citizens, Gemma finds herself at the center of a firestorm.

The evidence is circumstantial. The suspect is untouchable. And the town Gemma has come to love is turning against her. But with Kira at her side and Deputy Marco Reyes in her corner, she refuses to let another victim be forgotten.

As mud season grips Elk Creek and the mountains begin to thaw, the past is rising to the surface. Old alliances are shattering. New dangers are emerging. And someone is willing to kill again to keep the truth buried.

The thaw reveals everything. Even the things we wish would stay frozen.
