Mystery | Contemporary | Thriller

When Deputy Ken Brody's sweetheart goes missing in the mountains outside Timber Creek, Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo are called to search. But it's mid-October and a dark snow storm is brewing over the high country. And they're already too late. By the time they find her body, the storm has broken and the snow is coming down hard.

While Brody hikes down to bring back the forensics team and veterinarian Cole Walker gathers supplies to protect them from the storm, Mattie and Robo find themselves alone, guarding the gravesite overnight in the dead of the early winter. And that's only the first long, dark night in a series of them, because as their investigation develops, Mattie, Robo, Brody, and Cole find themselves in the middle of the killer's stalking ground.

Packed with relentless tension and intensified by a treacherous Colorado winter, STALKING GROUND is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed KILLING TRAIL, which is nominated for RT Book Review’s Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best First Mystery and was Library Journal’s Debut of the Month.
