Peak Road
Still recovering from the revelation of his sister's murder, Jon Stanton finds his life going back to normal until a guest shows up unannounced at his home. Mickey Parsons, a retired federal investigator and one of Stanton's closest friends, needs help with a twenty-year-old case.
Two families were murdered brutally and mercilessly in the mountains of Nevada. Mickey, a new FBI agent at the time, couldn't clear the case, but the murders stopped and he was recalled to Washington. The case never left him, and he lived with the fear that the killer was still out there, waiting for the right moment to kill again. Now, twenty years later, the Noel family is found slain in the exact manner of the two previous families.
With Mickey's health deteriorating, he asks Stanton to come with him to Nevada and find a killer nicknamed, "The Werewolf of Peak Road."
By helping his friend find the most vicious killer he's ever come across, Stanton unwittingly makes himself a target.

Victor Methos
Few writers of legal thrillers have lived the stories they tell as closely as Victor Methos. Born in Kabul and raised in the United States from the age of nine, he grew up with an outsider’s eye, watching, questioning, and writing. By ten, he was already crafting short stories in English, sensing that the written word could carry both truth and danger. That instinct would follow him into adulthood, shaping a career that straddled the courtroom and the page.
Before turning to fiction full time, Methos built his reputation in the legal world. He studied philosophy at the University of Utah, then shifted course to law school, where his fascination with justice became something far sharper. Over the next decade, he tried more than a hundred cases ranging from capital murder to high-stakes civil rights battles. Each trial demanded not just intellect but moral clarity, and many of those experiences left their imprint on his novels.
