A missing girl. A dead hunter. One sheriff caught in the storm. When a seasoned hunter is found murdered in the Colorado high country and a teenage girl vanishes hours later, Sheriff Ray Duke doesn't believe in coincidences. Not in Blue Sky County. Not with the snowstorm rolling in. And not with fresh boot tracks pointing to a tangled trail of lies. As Duke digs deeper, what he finds isn't just a missing girl-it's a web of secrets that stretches across families, friendships, and the frozen wilderness they all call home. With tensions boiling over and time running out, Duke must risk everything to bring a killer to justice and a girl safely home. But the closer he gets, the more personal it becomes-and the harder it is to tell who's protecting the innocent… and who's just hiding the truth. Perfect for fans of clean, redemptive mysteries, this novel delivers edge-of-your-seat suspense without the grit-just courage, conviction, and hope in the face of darkness.
