Darkness Absolute

'[A] locked room mystery on steroids; readers should prepare for an all -nighter to finish it.' - Booklist

'The town of Rockton's strong, atmospheric presence will interest readers of Armstrong's Cainsville series and appeal to new readers, particularly fans of C.J. Box.' - Library Journal

The secret town of Rockton is the perfect place to hide. The only problem is - once you're in, there's no way out...

After a shaky start, Casey Duncan is settling into her role as the town's much-needed detective. She's also found love with Sheriff Eric Dalton. But when Casey discovers a young woman out in the mountains, she is soon caught up in a terrifying new case. Someone is abducting women and keeping them trapped deep in the forest. Is he from Rockton, or from the wilderness beyond?

With winter storms and sudden blizzards, the town is now cut off even more than usual. As Casey races to find a killer, she herself could become his next target.

A heart-stopping, edge-of-the-seat thriller and a sequel to City of the Lost.
