Forever Close
“A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
—Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
When a murder occurs in her rural home town, brilliant FBI Agent Selena Raven is dispatched, unaware she must work alongside her ex-husband, now sheriff, as the two butt heads, face old grudges, and must partner to stop a killer before it’s too late.
A businessman's murder in an abandoned hunting lodge pulls Selena back to the woods where she and Connor once escaped as teenagers—but the killer's motive hits even closer to home. When betrayal and unchecked obsession turn deadly, Selena must untangle a web of suspicion—before she gets caught in it herself.
FOREVER CLOSE is the second book in a long-awaited new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews. The series begins with FOREVER DARK (Book #1).
The Selena Raven mystery series drops readers into the rural heart of the American Midwest, where the cases are brutal, the secrets run generations deep, and the agent tasked with solving them is the last person who wanted to come home. Fans of Laura Griffin, Robert Dugoni, and Kendra Elliot are sure to fall in love.
