Dr. Charlie Morrow thought she had escaped the haunting forests of Mattawa, where her last case left her scarred in body and spirit. But when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrest a local eccentric for the murders she narrowly survived, Charlie is called back-this time not as a victim, but as a consultant.
Haunted by nightmares and drawn by a truth she can't ignore, Charlie returns to Canada to confront the man who may-or may not-be the serial predator who has eluded capture for years. And an RCMP investigator weighed down by guilt because he wasn't able to protect her before. As she digs into the case, fractures emerge: a fragile suspect, a politicized investigation, and a town still trembling beneath the weight of buried secrets.
But Charlie isn't the only one unraveling. In London, journalist Ben Carlton struggles to hold his family together while facing the uncomfortable truth that Charlie has become more than just a friend. With tensions mounting on both sides of the Atlantic, new revelations blur the line between guilt and innocence, justice and vengeance.
And in the woods beyond Ottawa, something watches. Waiting.
A taut, emotionally charged psychological crime thriller, Deadfall is the gripping second installment in the Cold Bones Chronicles, perfect for fans of Tana French, Louise Penny, and Val McDermid. This layered mystery dives deep into trauma, loyalty, and the dangerous truths we hide-even from ourselves.
