ABOUT THE BOOK
Book 2 of 2: Maguire Mystery Series
She made it out alive. But is she out of the woods?
Desperate for a change of pace, therapist Abby Maguire took a short assignment at an equine-
assisted therapy ranch. After decades spent in the trenches of other people’s trauma, she
wanted to find some calm. When dead bodies started turning up, foul play evident, it seemed
she couldn’t catch a break – but, she did catch a killer.
Investigation complete and assignment extended, Abby wants nothing more than to immerse
herself in doing what she does best: helping people heal. Summer turns to autumn, and the
days grow short in the woods of central Minnesota. But darkness grows as the seasons change,
and death is once again close at hand. Abby’s surroundings may be beautiful, serene – but not
everything that is quiet is safe.
