In a village designed to keep the world out, someone just broke in.
Maidenwell isn’t on any map.
Privately owned and buried deep in Oregon’s high desert, it’s a high-tech re-creation of an English village—sustainable, exclusive, and locked down tighter than a vault. Nothing and no one gets in without clearance.
Until a lone hiker breaches its perimeter—no name. No ID. Just bruised hands, guarded eyes, and a trail that leads to a long-ignored case: a missing Indigenous girl.
Gina Biletti—hospitality director and reluctant sleuth—is tasked with escorting the stranger out. Discreetly. But when the woman reveals a cryptic clue, Gina’s curiosity becomes obsession. Their off-the-books investigation spirals from Maidenwell’s manicured gardens to the small-town secrets of La Grande and Sun Valley’s decadent galas, where society’s elite hide unspeakable crimes.
Now, Gina must decide: Trust the stranger, or walk away. Except the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes—someone powerful wants them silenced.
Darkly witty and emotionally charged, THE INTRUDER is perfect for fans of Elle Cosimano, Lisa Lutz, and Catherine Mack. Immerse yourself in this tale of secrets, solidarity, and the cost of truth.
Genre: Mystery
