ADVANCED PRAISE FOR LITTLE FALLS:

“Little Falls snaps with suspense from beginning to end. With skilled execution of setting and plot, Elizabeth Lewes shuttles the reader between continents on a thrilling journey that reveals haunting secrets. I couldn’t put this book down!” —Margaret Mizushima, author of the award-winning Timber Creek K-9 mysteries 

“A dark, dangerous read populated by distinct, well-drawn characters. The tormented heroine is a woman on the edge and fascinating in her unpredict- ability. You’re rooting for her, afraid for her, but never fully confident that she won’t succumb to her multiple demons. There is a desperate sense of urgency right up until the very end.” —P. J. Tracy, New York Times bestselling author of the Monkeewrench series

ABOUT LITTLE FALLS:

Sergeant Camille Waresch did everything she could to forget Iraq.

She went home to Eastern Washington and got a quiet job.

She connected with her daughter, Sophie, whom she had left as a baby.

She got sober. But the ghosts of her past were never far behind.

While conducting a routine property tax inspection on an isolated ranch, Camille discovers a teenager’s tor- tured corpse hanging in a dilapidated outbuilding.

In a flash, her combat-related PTSD resurges—and in her dreams, the hanging boy merges with a young soldier whose eerily similar death still haunts her.

The case hits home when Sophie reveals that the victim was her ex-boyfriend—and as Camille investigates, she uncovers a tangled trail that leads to his jealous younger brother and her own daughter, wild, defiant, and ensnared.

The closer Camille gets to the truth, the closer she is driven to the edge. Her home is broken into. Her truck is blown up.

Evidence and witnesses she remembers clearly are erased. And when Sophie disappears, Camille’s hunt for justice becomes a hunt for her child.

At a remote compound where the terrifying truth is finally revealed, Camille has one last chance to save her daughter—and redeem her own shattered soul.
