Summary

A young woman is savagely murdered on a popular beach near Forks, WA.

Former homicide detective Brandon Mattson takes command of his hometown police force just one year after his brother was killed in the line of duty. Still haunted by his brother’s unsolved murder, he struggles to rein in the fledgling department while learning the ropes as a newly divorced single parent.

Brandon’s respite from homicide is short-lived when a missing woman’s body washes ashore on the nearby Quileute Reservation. Savage fang marks and a series of ominous vampire-related graffiti point to a member of a secret blood-sucking cult. But Brandon's not so sure wannabe vampires are to blame, and it soon becomes evident that more than one person had reason to murder the young woman.

Balancing the investigation, small-town politics, and parenting his 15-year-old daughter, Brandon is running out of time to solve the case before the bloodthirsty killer claims another victim.

Fans of suspenseful mysteries with a twist will find a new favorite in homicide detective turned chief of police Brandon Mattson.

Great storyline and decent narration

Having enjoyed other Richard Ryker books I was keen to listen to this one. The main characters were good and the story kept you guessing.

Well worth a listen

Format: audiobook
Narrator: Tom Taverna

New chief of police Brandon Mattson has barely arrived in town to take up his new position when a murder occurs, not only does he have to find the killer but he’s also battling the mayor who’s priority seems to be the towns image and damage to tourism.
This story moves along at a steady pace with multiple suspects and plenty of trouble both inside and outside of the police department.
Definitely worth a read or listen.

The narrator does a great job but the author may want to check out this audio file though because there were a couple of errors, the main one being, Ch 29 at (12:37) there’s no audio till (13:00) at which point ch 29 starts again.
