An unexpected phone call, from an estranged ex-wife, intrigues longtime Oregon businessman Matt Walker enough that he pays an unannounced visit to his old home in time to find the street lined with police cars. While questioning Walker, the detectives realize his old home is the crime scene and demand he enters the former abode to answer questions. Upon entering, his beaten and battered ex-wife runs into his arms sobbing with relief, surprising investigators. After brief questioning from the detectives, Walker's allowed to return home. In an effort to enjoy the autumn air and cleanse his mind of the police inquisition, Walker tries relaxing with his current wife when a body turns up at the edge of their backyard on the lake-shore further disrupting an already challenging afternoon. Detective Mara Graley, a seasoned detective nearing retirement and dealing with her aging father, notices an odd exchange between Walker and his former wife when she runs into his arms. Graley's partner, a rookie with a brash attitude and anger issues, wants to lock Walker up, sure he is guilty.

A pillar of the community, now facing serious allegations, Walker is challenged in ways he never imagined.

Whatever you think you've figured out, you'll be kept guessing until the end as the story's well-planned and disturbing twist keeps you turning the pages in an effort to figure out what is going on.
From an early age, Mike Walters realized that life was more fun when unencumbered by a strict adherence to the truth. In other words, he learned to lie. Be it the size of the steelhead that broke his line and slipped back into the mighty Rogue River, or the glaring new scratch on his father's truck, Mike was always ready with a yarn to spin and an audience to dupe, delight, and most importantly, entertain. When he wasn't enjoying center-stage, Mike pursued long periods alone in the wild. As his brother and father went gold-panning in the heart of the Kalamiopsis wilderness, Mike would wander off with his fishing pole and Labrador, cliff diving into bottomless pools and evading protective mama bears. These moments attuned him to the deep, hidden songs of nature, and his affinity for quiet observation would lead him to explore 49 of the fifty states of his homeland and later pursue a career as a photographer for the U.S. Air Force. This tapestry of characters and places forms much of the inspiration for his books and characters. These days, when Mike isn't mountain biking through Oregon or photographing the great outdoors, he's madly tapping away at his latest story. To date, Mike Walters has published three novels that span supernatural, mystery, and action genres, mostly set in Southern Oregon. His fourth book, "The Good Sheriff," will be released in July 2020, and a brand-new mystery is currently in the works. To stay up to date with new releases visit mikewaltersnovels.com
