Crime reporter Will Finch and private investigator Eve Noon escape to a remote media retreat deep in the redwoods of Northern California—until a midnight knock shatters the silence. A wildfire rages toward them, but the real danger isn’t the flames. As the evacuation order comes down, Will and Eve find themselves trapped in a deadly game where the enemy isn’t just nature—it’s the people hidden among them. In the next 48 hours, deception runs deep, survival means everything, and the wilderness becomes a battleground. But just when the hunters close in, the tables turn in a twist no one sees coming. A relentless noir thriller packed with danger, betrayal, and a fight for survival. The question isn’t whether Eve and Finch can escape. It’s who—if anyone—will make it out alive. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Will Finch Mystery Thriller Series:? ? ? ? ?
