"A dark and complex mystery that will consume you."--Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight They thought he was a helpless old man. They were wrong. When two teenagers break into a house on a remote lake in search of prescription drugs, what starts as a simple burglary turns into a nightmare for all involved. Emmett Burr has secrets he's been keeping in his basement for more than two decades, and he'll do anything to keep his past from being revealed. As he gets the upper hand on his tormentors, the lines blur between victim, abuser, and protector. Personal tragedy has sent former police officer Ben Packard back to the small Minnesota town of Sandy Lake in search of a fresh start. Now a sheriff's deputy, Packard is leading the investigation into the missing teens, motivated by a family connection. As clues dry up and time runs out to save them, Packard is forced to reveal his own secrets and dig deep to uncover the dark past of the place he now calls home. Unrelentingly suspenseful and written with a piercing gaze into the dark depths of the human soul, And There He Kept Her is a thrilling page-turner that introduces readers to a complicated new hero and forces us to consider the true nature of evil. Follow Acting Deputy Sheriff Ben Packard back into Minnesota's North Country August 15th with Where the Dead Sleep.

"2 teenagers break into an old man’s basement and aren’t expecting what they find
I really didn’t want to like this book because that would give me another series added to my TBR, but dang it, I really enjoyed the characters and the plot. I appreciated the humor that was brought out of the characters through dialogue. It’s hard to find a thriller that also does humor well."

"When I saw the cover of this book, I KNEW it was a must read for me! I didn’t even glance at the synopsis and wow I did not see what this book was going to be about at all!! <br/><br/>First: You know exactly who “he is” and “where he kept her” <br/>Second: We know who she was, and who she is now! <br/><br/>I enjoyed the new hot queer police chief on the scene and it being a small town and all, the author does a terrific job at making the townies comical. <br/><br/>Creepy, dark and twisted and I am hopeful there will be a part 2, because I need more please!! <br/><br/>Thank you for the gifted copy."

"This book was compelling from the start and kept you drawn in. Small town big mysteries will always be a hook for me. The twist, turns, and connections to everyone and everything will always leave little shock but strong entertainment. "
