A legend. A murder. A truth no one wants to face.
When banker Marc Gauthier is found dead in the river behind the Pemberton Lodge, the town is quick to blame the region's most infamous legend-Sasquatch. Months earlier, lodge owner Clara Hughes met the same fate, her body thrown from the cliff behind her hotel. Now, a third brutal killing in a remote hunting cabin has everyone on edge.
As seasoned Vancouver detectives Michael Williams and Ed Stokes dig deeper, they uncover conflicting stories, hidden motives, and a town divided between fear and skepticism. Some believe the creature is real. Others think the legend is being used as a convenient excuse. But the closer they get to the truth, the more they realize that whatever is lurking in the shadows-man or beast-isn't finished yet.
Three murders. One dangerous legend. And a case that will test everything they believe.
For readers of historical crime and classic noir, Blood in the River is a gripping mystery where folklore and reality blur-and the answer may be more terrifying than anyone imagined.
