Running In The Night

By Vicki C Lee

When hunter and hunted come face-to-face, who will blink first?

Special Agent Ricki James, a criminal investigator with the National Park Service, was finally back home in Northwest Washington. After closing her last grueling case, she’s looking forward to some quiet time with her friends and family, not to mention enjoying her growing relationship with the local police chief, Clayton Thomas.
But all her plans disappear in the blink of an eye when an attack on a pair of hikers hundreds of miles away happens again in the park she can see from her own backdoor. This time the target is an entire group out on a wilderness trip in the park, and led by her ex-husband. But it isn’t only wounded hikers being sent to the local hospital. There are also dead bodies in the morgue.
As her former husband lies critically injured in a hospital bed, all Ricki knows is that the victims were in town attending a conference at a nearby luxury resort. But aside from mingling over cocktails, she can’t find another link between them. As she struggles to uncover any small clue that will lead her to their killer, another attack occurs. Now it is Ricki whose life is on the line when she comes face-to-face with the deadliest adversary she has ever hunted.
