These Dark Woods (A Rural Noir Crime Thriller)

When men are worse than monsters, stopping them means stepping into the dark yourself.

After barely surviving his attempt to dismantle a major trafficking ring, Wade Rivers is left scarred but more obsessed than ever with the name that keeps slipping through his grasp. It’s a name whispered in fear and shrouded in mystery—a figure thought to be nothing more than a spooky tale.

As he peels back the layers of the myth surrounding this person, Wade learns that some don’t see him as a man at all, but as a monster. Wade doesn’t believe in monsters. He’s seen enough to know that cruel men can often be far more terrifying than anything imagined.

In one final attempt to end this nightmare, Wade heads into the dark woods not far from where he grew up. This time, he’ll have to face a man so feared, some say he’s not even human.

These Dark Woods is the third book in the Wade Rivers trilogy. A hard-edged rural noir where fear has a name and the truth cuts deep.
