In Her Bones

A fugitive FBI trainee. A sharp-witted private investigator. And a massive rescue dog who digs up a deadly secret.

Hale Hastings is running out of places to hide. Framed for the murder of her FBI mentor and branded armed and dangerous, she sheds her past, assumes a new identity, and flees to the high desert of Bend, Oregon. Her only rule for survival as a quiet local bartender? Keep her head down, her back to the wall, and her eyes on the exits.

But laying low is impossible when you catch the attention of a tenacious local private investigator. Kenna Scott immediately senses the lethal edge beneath the new bartender's quiet facade. Instead of turning Hale in, Kenna offers a dangerous deal: partner up and help crack the cold cases the police have abandoned.

Their first lead comes from an unexpected source—Rogue, a massive, unruly rescue dog obsessed with slipping his bonds. When Rogue drags Hale out to the middle of no-where, he seemingly unearths a chilling, seven-year-old secret that was never meant to be found.

As Hale and Kenna are pulled into a labyrinth of dark, small-town lies, Hale realizes that solving this case might be the exact leverage she needs to clear her own name. But the closer they get to the truth, the more she realizes she isn't the only one doing the hunting.
