Haley Martin used to be what the locals called a âriver ratâ, back during the days of her college years. Now she owns the Timber Falls Bar and Grill, drawn back to the picturesque village seven years ago after the tragic death of her wife.

When the gruesome murder of a college studentâa river ratâsends the FBI agent to Timber Falls, Carter has no idea what sheâs about to find there. She knows sheâs looking for a serial killer thatâs preying on tourists. But she has no idea that she might find some peaceâand loveâalong the way.
