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.
