  On a rainy day, an earthquake strikes, followed by a tsunami warning for the Digha region. Chaos erupts as people rush to escape. Umla and her family flee in their car, taking a shortcut through a forest. The road is blocked by a fallen tree, and they're forced to continue on foot. Suddenly, the tsunami hits. In the panic and rising waters, Umla is separated from her family and trapped under a log. She's injured, bleeding, and alone in the forest. 
  As the tsunami waves return, she's swept away, suffering severe injuries, including the loss of her arms. She briefly regains consciousness in a destroyed house, only to realize her dire state—and that the severed hand beside her is her own. The final wave hits, and she is consumed completely by the water. 
  This haunting story highlights the terrifying power of natural disasters and the heartbreaking fragility of life in their path.

  Jules Clement is back in Blue Deer, working as an archaeologist and private investigator. He's a mostly happy man: he's a new father, and he and his wife Caroline are building their dream house on an idyllic patch of river bottomland. But everything that can go wrong will, in terms of money, love, and murder. The horrible neighbors enlist Jules to spy on each other. The county hires him to find out if a road runs over some misplaced bodies in a long-abandoned potter's field. A former priest with a side hustle in extortion ends up very dead. A crew of Russians in fast cars is running amok through the Montana landscape. All this as an old nemesis returns, pulling Jules back to confront what he's been avoiding his entire life: the death of his father. 
   
   
   
  Published alongside newly reissued editions of the entire series, The River View is further proof that "you haven't been west in any meaningful sense until you've been to Blue Deer" (The New York Times).

  🎨 Natural dye artist and botanical expert Indigo "Indy" Bloom is preparing for the annual Artisan Market when the market's organizer—a ruthless synthetic dye manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, face-down in a vat of her signature indigo dye. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Indy notices the dye bath has been chemically altered and the victim's fabric swatches contain color patterns that form a coded message. With her dye studio condemned as a hazardous site and her reputation fading fast, Indy must extract the truth from this colorful mess. Assisted by her natural dye collective and the handsome chemist analyzing the contaminated dye bath, Indy uncovers a scheme involving industrial dye sabotage, stolen botanical recipes, and a plot to discredit natural dyers. From suspicious pH levels that reveal tampering to plant materials that don't grow in the victim's region, every hue tells a story. But when Indy discovers the victim was systematically stealing ancient dye recipes from indigenous communities to patent them for corporate profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more valuable than any chemical formula. With the artisan market days away and the real villain still stirring the pot, Indy must fix the colors of truth before her own dye business bleeds out completely.
