A Lonesome Place for Murder: An Ethan Brand Mystery

In this dark mystery, perfect for fans of C. J. Box, one wrong step leads Ethan Brand to the most dangerous case of his career...and the most personal.

Hoping to surprise his sons, Ethan Brand, the chief of police of a small town in northern Washington state, is contemplating buying a horse. But when the horse literally stumbles upon an abandoned smuggling tunnel, Ethan and his lead investigator Brenda Lee Page discover a dead body connected to a decade-old mystery.

Ten years ago, Tyler Rash, a troubled friend of Ethan's, vanished without a trace. The body in the tunnel has Tyler's ID and personal effects.

As Ethan and Brenda Lee investigate Tyler's disappearance, they follow a trail that leads them to a cross-border smuggling operation connected to the town's notorious family of smugglers. And when a bomb is sent to Ethan's own house, the case takes a deadly and personal turn. A killer is stalking Ethan Brand-a killer he'll have to face if he wants to see his family again.
