Description

In The Boy Who Cried Bear, New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong keeps readers on the edge of their seats while detective Casey Duncan tries to locate the threat before it’s too late. . .

Haven’s Rock is a well-hidden town surrounded by forest. And it’s supposed to be, being that it’s a refuge for those who need to disappear. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton already feel at home in their new town, which reminds them of where they first met in Rockton. And while they know how to navigate the woods and its various dangers, other residents don’t. Which is why people aren't allowed to wander off alone.

When Max, the town’s youngest resident—taught to track animals by Eric—fears a bear is stalking a hiking party, alarms are raised. Even stranger, the ten-year-old swears the bear had human eyes. Casey and Eric know the dangers a bear can present, so they’re taking it seriously. But odd occurrences are happening all around them, and when a dead body turns up, they’re not sure what they’re up against.

About the Author

Kelley Armstrong is the author of over 50 novels in mystery, fantasy and horror. She believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.

Reviews

Praise for The Boy Who Cried Bear

The Boy Who Cried Bear skillfully melds a village mystery with a high adventure and acutely explores its numerous characters.” –Shelf Awareness

“Armstrong’s new venture continues her Rockton tradition.”—Kirkus Reviews

“For fans of procedurals with a unique twist!”—Book Riot

“Kelley Armstrong’s Haven’s Rock series keeps getting better and better. The Boy Who Cried Bear, the second book in the series, has a significant mystery along with plenty of suspense and atmosphere that keeps readers rapidly turning the pages.”—Mystery and Suspense Magazine

“Few mystery series have enthralled me as completely as Kelley Armstrong's books set in the Canadian Yukon wilderness…This new 'town' is going to take us on quite an exciting ride, so get in at the start and buckle up. Armstrong is sure to provide many wild animals, strange residents, adorable dog antics and, of course, murders to solve."—Bookreporter

“Evocative… There is a kindness and sense of the underlying good of people that permeates Casey's musings throughout the series, in spite of the harshness of the setting and the fact that the books always involve pain, danger, and evil. The plotting is complex and engaging, and the pace picks up to a blistering speed at the end.”—Reviewing the Evidence
