For Keeps

by Jennifer Solberg

Former FBI agent, Adam Carson, didn't think of living on his ranch in the Missouri Breaks of Montana as hiding out. He wasn't looking for an escape...he was living. Surviving. He had put the horrific murder of his wife and the collapse of his career behind him, and had stitched back together the fragments of his heart and soul. Who needed love? Companionship? Not him. It was better to be alone than suffer that kind of loss ever again.All that changed one rainy spring morning as Adam rode out on his horse, Cisco, to check fence. To ride through the breaks and check the outbuildings and aging homestead on the far side of his ranch. When he spotted a broken window and open gate at the old farmhouse, irritation flooded through him. He was sick and tired of passing hunters target shooting at the old buildings. A closer look, however, showed more than a instance of casual vandalism. There was blood. Handcuffs. A satchel filled with implements of torture and pain. This was a crime scene...and one that hinted at a potentially dead body out in the breaks, just waiting to be discovered. No mere trespassers or vandals were responsible for the nightmare of violence enclosed within the little house. Suddenly, Adam finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation that leads him across Montana. Once again involved with crime, working the angles. Caring more than he should. Risking more than he should. It will take all his expertise and ability to solve the mystery before becoming the next victim.
