Wolf Point

Wolf Point, Alaska. 

When police officer Terril Black is appointed sergeant under brutal circumstances, she expects a quiet first night in charge. Instead, a teenage girl vanishes from a remote motel – and for Terril, turning her back is never an option. 

With a department that doesn’t want a woman in charge, a hostile officer undermining her every move, and a rookie fresh from Miami as her only back-up, she is plunged into a desperate missing persons investigation, racing against time and the elements. 

Here, it isn’t the first 48 hours that count – it’s the first four to eight. After that, even something innocent can end badly. 

But unsettling clues point her towards something dark festering beneath the surface of this small town. And when a violent snowstorm cuts them off from the outside world, Terril isn’t just fighting to save the girl – she’s fighting to get out alive. 

A gripping debut crime novel for readers of Gillian Flynn, Chris Whitaker, Jane Harper and Tana French.
