Dire by Jeff Carson

When a deadly snowstorm hits the Colorado Rockies, Sheriff David Wolf faces one of the most harrowing cases of his career. A hiker’s body is found buried in the snow—murdered, not lost—and the trail leads to a chilling conspiracy that stretches far beyond the small mountain town of Rocky Points. As Wolf races against time, the blizzard closes in, cutting him off from help and trapping him with a killer who knows the terrain as well as he does. Gritty, suspenseful, and relentlessly atmospheric, Dire is a pulse-pounding thriller that explores justice, loyalty, and survival in the most unforgiving conditions.
