Unedited Excerpt
“It’s about Billy.” Sam remained as pale as he’d been after finding out Billy was dead, and now he seemed uncertain. Worried.
“What’s wrong?”
Sam lowered his voice. “Something’s not right. I mean—obviously. But I’m worried Billy was set-up. Or something. I don’t exactly know.”
“Set-up? Set-up how?”
Sam shook his head in frustration. “I don’t know, Gabriel. But he told me someone had recommended he check out this trail. And the first time he rides here, this happens.”
I wasn’t sure I saw the connection between a trail recommendation and being attacked by a wild animal. But it was my job to gather information and besides—this was my little brother. I’d spent a long time just getting him to talk to me again. I was damn well gonna listen. “Who told Billy about the trail? Did he say?”
Solstice
From the dramatic peaks of the Olympic mountain range to the small town of Prophet, murder is only a footstep away.
Gabriel is a former undercover cop haunted by the things he’s seen and done. He returns to his small hometown of Prophet, taking on the role of sheriff, hoping to mend his fractured relationship with his estranged brother and rebuild his life. But when a chilling murder occurs at Sentinel Rocks, a sacred Makah site on Lake Prophet, Gabriel’s dreams of peace and reconciliation are shattered.
Gabriel navigates a web of intrigue, with a long list of suspects; from local tribal elders to fervent Solstice worshippers and even those hunting the elusive Bigfoot. When the brutal murder leaves Duke, a loyal Labrador retriever, as the sole witness, Gabriel stumbles upon an unexpected ally—a local animal behaviorist named Tiber.
Tiber, a newcomer to Prophet, seeks refuge in this remote haven, attempting to escape his own inner demons. Armed with his extraordinary ability to communicate with animals, he offers his expertise through video consultations, helping pet owners with their beloved companions. While he attributes his skill to his academic background, his intuition and flashes of insight owe as much to his Navajo heritage as to science.
With the relentless rain washing away sins and good intentions alike, Gabriel and Tiber must begin to confront their own vulnerabilities and unravel the truth.
