Forest of Stillness
(2026)(The ninth book in the Alexis Forrest FBI Mystery Thriller series)
A novel by Kate Gable
She traded her weapon for a desk. One missing woman will make her pick it up again.
FBI Agent Alexis Forrest has one goal: build the quiet life she never thought she'd want.
A desk job in Broken Hill, Maine. Evenings with her fiancé Mitch in the peaceful town they both love. Maybe even the family they've started talking about—the future she's just begun to imagine. She’s even made a few girlfriends.
No more hunting killers. No more choosing cases over the man she loves. Just normal, safe, and quiet.
Then one of her new friends goes missing.
The local sheriff calls her a runaway—marital problems, a controlling husband. She's just another woman fleeing her life. But Alexis recognizes the signs everyone else is missing. The patterns. The lies. The kind of predator who hides in plain sight.
And Alexis knows what happens to women who disappear in small towns where no one asks the right questions.
Now she’s racing against time to find her friend before it's too late.
Because in this peaceful town, someone is hunting. And Alexis must choose between the life she wants and the woman only she can save.
A pulse-pounding FBI thriller where small-town secrets turn deadly and one agent discovers that some instincts can't be buried—even when everything she loves is at stake.
Genre: Mystery
