Summary

Sam Mercer never intended to return to the crumbling house by the sea. But when his estranged father passes, he’s forced to confront a place steeped in shadowed memories and unanswered questions. The coastal fog seems thicker than ever—an eerie veil that hides more than the decaying town around him.
 
One morning, through the swirling mist, Sam glimpses a young girl beneath the old swings. Pale. Familiar. And impossible.
 
Haunted by fragmented memories of his childhood friend Emily—who vanished years ago—Sam is pulled into a relentless search for the truth. As he delves deeper into the town’s long-buried silence, unsettling traces begin to surface: a photo where none should be, a girl at the cliffs, a name written in red. These fragments whisper through windows, dreams, and fog-soaked paths, daring him to remember.
 
Why can’t he recall what truly happened that day?
 
And why does the fog seem to know exactly when to appear?
 
With every step closer to the truth, Sam must confront the weight of his own choices—and a past that refuses to remain buried.
 
Because some promises are never forgotten.
 
And some memories don’t let go—they wait.
 
What really happened in the fog?
 
And what price will remembering exact?

    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.

    After a long streak of avoiding murder investigations, Dublin limo driver Megan Malone thought her life had finally settled . . . but even her Irish luck can't keep her out of trouble forever. 
     
     
     
    It's been over a year since Megan found herself entangled in a murder—much to everyone's relief, including her girlfriend Jelena and Detective Paul Bourke. So when a body of a young woman quite literally lands in her lap at her favorite Dublin café, Megan tries to do the right thing and leave the crime-solving to the police so she can enjoy the St. Patrick's Day weekend. After all, she has no connection to the victim. Or does she? 
     
     
      
    Megan's latest client, world-renowned romance novelist Claire Woodward, is fascinated by Megan's own history of catching killers. Claire also just happens to be the murder victim's literary mentor. So maybe Megan can just sort of stay on the periphery of the case while trying to help out? Just a wee bit without causing too much fuss? Even Detective Bourke would approve since he has personal reasons not to trust Claire. The investigation leads Megan to the victim's writing group, who think that Claire has plagiarized the poor young lady's work. And when another member of the group is found dead, Megan will have to step up her sleuthing before the killer decides to write her off for good.
