The Last Draft

After the collapse of her marriage, combat veteran Morgan Lashbrook traded Portland for the quiet mountain towns of Oregon's Mt. Hood region, joining the state police in search of a fresh start. The ghosts of her past still linger, but Morgan has begun to build a new life-and a promising relationship with pastry chef and aspiring author Shae Wallace. Then a bestselling thriller novelist is found murdered at a remote campsite just miles from Morgan's home. Assigned to lead the homicide task force, Morgan is forced into an uneasy partnership with her ex-husband, Portland police captain Deacon Pearce. As the investigation deepens, another body surfaces, and it becomes chillingly clear they're hunting a serial killer stalking the forests of Oregon. But this killer isn't choosing victims at random. As the clues come together, Morgan realizes the killer is following a carefully crafted plan-one that leads straight to her own doorstep. And the closer she gets to the truth, the closer the killer gets to someone she loves.
