  Savage Rogue kicks off a thrilling new series starring Special Agent Nicole Beretti, a fan favorite from the popular Night of the Dogman series. Called to the remote town of Enrick, Wyoming, Beretti and her partner, Special Agent Noah Jacobi, are drawn into a dark mystery after Chief Deputy Perry requests federal help to handle a series of brutal, animal-like killings. Although the local coroner suspects a large wolf, Beretti knows there's more lurking in the woods, more than anyone in Enrick is prepared for. 
  Amid the terror, an indifferent and lazy Sheriff Becan has allowed fear to fester, driving restless locals to form a dangerous, self-appointed posse, ready to act without a clear plan or understanding of the threat they face. Now, Beretti and Jacobi must tread carefully as they investigate, navigating the tension between the reckless vigilantes and the ominous, unknown predator hiding in the darkness. 
  With dark secrets, small-town intrigue, and a chilling, relentless danger stalking them, Beretti faces one of her most harrowing cases yet in Savage Rogue, an electrifying start to a series listeners won't be able to put down.

  The story begins with the narrator, Doctor John Watson, explaining that his friend Sherlock Holmes always refers to Irene Adler as "THE woman,” because he believes she is the best woman he has ever met in every regard. Watson declares that Sherlock Holmes is too analytical to ever feel romantic love for someone because that would invite distractions that could disrupt his thinking about cases. Watson explains that he hasn't seen much of Holmes because he's gotten married and moved into a new home with his wife, leaving Holmes to live alone in the home the two men used to share. Now that he lives with his wife, Watson tracks Holmes by reading about his cases in the newspaper. One night when he is walking home from a patient's house, Watson finds himself in front of Holmes's apartment on Baker Street. He looks through the window and sees Holmes pacing, which he recognizes as a sign that Holmes is thinking excitedly about a case. Watson decides to ring the bell for a visit.

  Marcus Sinclair is a history teacher whose life is stuck in neutral when he inherits a papyrus scroll from his antiquarian uncle. The mysterious scroll might contain a lost masterpiece from ancient Rome or perhaps an ancient recipe for personal tranquility, but it’s unreadable unless Marcus can figure out a way to unroll the scroll without destroying it. His quest takes him to Naples, where he befriends a Google software engineer days before the man is found dead. Marcus is interviewed by an investigative journalist, Kristi Grainger, and they find themselves on parallel paths leading to a Neapolitan trafficker in antiquities, a tech mogul obsessed with the distant past, and a clutch of academics searching for the lost library of Herculaneum. In a seaside city that is by turns lush and lethal, Marcus must confront the unraveling of more than a scroll.

  The quiet time of year as settled over Whispering Pines. For months, Sheriff Jayne O’Shea had been looking forward to a little R&R but now she’s not so sure. What’s she supposed to do with herself? Take up knitting? 
  When a brawl breaks out at the local pub during the Thanksgiving gathering, a patron is critically wounded. Not the kind of distraction Jayne was looking for. There’s a long list of suspects, but she’s fairly certain it was one of the vigilantes who came to save the village from “that lady sheriff who doesn’t know her job.” But it might be someone from the growing group of villagers who aren’t happy with their sheriff’s performance. Or maybe it's someone who's not even on her list. 
  The one thing Jayne knows for sure is if she doesn’t get a handle on things, it could be time for her to turn in her badge.

  Hunting season is open, and humans are the game. 
  In her new role with the Bureau’s Violent Crime Unit, Special Agent Amelia Storm is ready to focus on new types of crimes—ones that aren’t mob related. She didn’t, however, expect her first case to take her to rural Illinois, where the tranquil waters of Lake Henry have been guarding a grim secret. 
  Three corpses...and that’s just the beginning. 
  Among the deceased are two recent victims, a young couple last seen camping in the nearby wilderness preserve. A third, a grim echo from years past, is a set of bones picked clean and left to whisper secrets of an older, darker crime. The only connection between the victims, besides the location of their bodies, is the ancient rune carved into their skull. Shockingly, a ViCAP search of the distinctive symbol reveals eighteen sets of linked murders occurring over the past decade. 
  All murdered in pairs. 
  As Amelia and her partner delve deeper into the case, a disturbing realization dawns—they aren’t hunting a lone serial killer but two. Working in tandem, these predators stalk their victims under the veil of darkness. 
  Now the interval between murders is shortening, and the killers are escalating. Amelia must turn the hunter into the hunted...before they target their next victims. 
  From the wickedly dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm’s Target, book eleven of the Amelia Storm Series. But be forewarned. You may never go camping again.
