Watched in the Pines (A Detective Riley Quinn Pine Brooke Mystery Book 6)

In a wooded area, someone or something is watching closely. Teenage girls disappear during a game of hide-and-seek, with only one returning to the campfire after being blindfolded and taken away. Detective Riley Quinn, who has spent much of her life fighting evil, is found unconscious by firefighters and discovers her home has been set on fire. As her memory returns in fragments, she identifies a shadowy figure connected to that night, uncovering a truth darker than expected. With multiple arson cases mounting and a cold case intersecting with ongoing investigations, the mysteries take unexpected turns, revealing a monstrous reality. Disappearances, deaths, and bombs in preparation converge as Quinn works to bring down the perpetrator through a final trap of justice.
