(Formerly published as Brother’s Keeper)
Small-town chief of police Brandon Mattson penetrates the dark and isolated forests of the Olympic Mountains in search of his brother’s killer.
Six months into his stint as police chief of Forks, WA, Brandon Mattson has already solved a double-homicide, stabilized his fledgling department, and helped his daughter settle into a new high school.
But there’s one unsolved case that has haunted the former Seattle PD detective for over a year: his brother’s murder.
His search for the killers leads him to an underground network of thieves and drug dealers ensconced in the impenetrable forests surrounding his small town. His obsession with the investigation draws the ire of the local sheriff and he’s ordered off the case.
But Brandon is too close to the truth to give up now. So close that the hidden powers shielding the killers from justice are willing to do anything to stop him…
When a key suspect is critically injured during a police pursuit, the family blames Brandon. The close-knit network of criminals is out for revenge. But they aren’t after Brandon: they’re targeting his daughter.
Ready to protect his family at any cost, Brandon soon learns there’s a fine line between justice…and vengeance.
