Featured Work
A Sharp Solitiude
In the darkening days of autumn, a journalist’s body is discovered in a remote region near the Canadian border, and Reeve Landon, whom the journalist was last seen, becomes the prime suspect. However, Landon has close ties to one of the FBI’s investigating agents in their resident office in Kalispell, Montana – Agent Ali Paige. She happens to be his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child. Ali is not officially assigned to the case since the crime was committed outside federal land, but while Landon is being questioned, he calls her and goads her to help him.
Intensely private and paranoid, Landon tries to evade being arrested. But even as he dodges the detectives, he secretly feels the whole thing is deserved, a karmic punishment for the horrifying crime he committed as a young boy. As for Ali, she has only one objective in mind: to save her daughter from the pain of abandonment she endured as a child. As the clock ticks and the noose tightens around Landon’s neck, Ali isn’t sure how far she will go to find out the truth. Set against the breathtaking terrain of Glacier National Park, this novel shows that no one can ever really outrun their demons, even in the vast terrain of Northwest Montana.
