The River's Tale

book cover

A woman flees to the Adirondacks to escape an obsessive boyfriend but finds that the mountains are not the safe haven she thought they were. This is a prequel to the author’s prize-winning novel Within a Forest Dark, also published by Lost Pond Press.

Take the bait

The remote village of Trout Run lies inside New York's vast Adirondack Park, a tiny community cloistered within deep forests and rugged mountains. You can drive for miles without seeing another soul--so when high school senior Janelle Harvey vanishes while walking home along a lonely forest road, only the trees are mute witnesses to her disappearance. Police Chief Frank Bennett is new to Trout Run, and he's determined not to make another mistake in judgment like the one that cost him his previous job.
