The Girls in the Desert
She hunts monsters. Now, the monster is hunting her.
by J.R Cloice
Detective Evelyn Walker has spent her career dragging predators into the light. But when a high-profile judge is executed on the courthouse steps and a cryptic note ties the murder to her past, Evelyn is thrust into a conspiracy more vicious than she imagined. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t just about power—it’s about girls. Missing, forgotten, discarded. And someone is cleaning house. With the help of Ethan Reid—a former fixer with secrets of his own—Evelyn races to expose a network that reaches the highest offices in Phoenix. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes she’s on their list. And they don’t forgive.
