Savage Grounds
(2022)(The first book in the Dalton Savage Mystery series)
A novel by Biba Pearce and L T Ryan
A missing woman. A fugitive hunting her. A mountain full of places to hide a body.
Dalton Savage—introduced in the bestselling Rachel Hatch series—takes the lead in a rugged mystery thriller from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author L.T. Ryan, with Biba Pearce.
Hawk’s Landing sheriff Dalton Savage finally has something worth protecting. He’s engaged to the woman he loves, their first child is on the way, and the violent life he left behind feels farther away every day.Then twenty-two-year-old Candy Ray disappears into the Colorado mountains.
The obvious suspect is her recently paroled ex-boyfriend—the man Candy helped send to prison and who swore he’d make her pay. Savage leads his team into the wilderness expecting a manhunt.
Instead, they find a murdered hiker.
Someone far more dangerous is stalking the same trails, and Candy has walked straight into his territory. Cut off from backup and racing a killer who knows the terrain, Savage must bring her home before another body disappears into the forest.
But the mountains are only the beginning. Candy was running from a secret tied to Hawk’s Landing’s most violent criminals—and the closer Savage gets to the truth, the closer they come to his pregnant fiancée.
Saving Candy will take everything he has. Protecting his family may require becoming the man he thought he’d left behind.
Because in Hawk’s Landing, the danger doesn’t stop when you find the missing woman.
Savage Grounds is a rugged small-town crime thriller and police procedural blending a Colorado wilderness manhunt, serial-killer suspense, modern-Western atmosphere, and deeply personal family stakes. For readers who enjoy C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett novels, Craig Johnson’s Longmire mysteries, and Michael Connelly’s hard-edged police procedurals.
