About the book:

“An energetic, enthralling tale of dangerous family secrets.” – Kirkus Reviews

They killed her husband. Now, they’re coming for her son.

Lauren Kaine has everything she ever wanted — a fabulous home, a shiny Lexus, a bright sixteen-year-old son, and a loving husband with a lucrative internet career. Tonight, she walks hand-in-hand with William beneath the lustrous Seattle sky, celebrating twenty-two years of marriage.

But they’re not alone.

A mysterious black Audi comes out of nowhere and chases William onto a bridge. He shouts, “They’re here for the card,” and falls to his death. Enraged, Lauren attacks the car, but the tinted windows hide the driver’s face, and it speeds away.

Still mourning, she sets out to find her husband’s killer when a stranger calls and demands the card. William never mentioned a card, and she doesn’t know where it is. The stranger follows her. He torments her. He threatens to kidnap her son and throw him into the same river that killed William.

And it’s not just the stranger.

Black cars lurk around every corner. William’s co-workers refuse to talk to her. Her brother-in-law resurfaces after years of silence, and he knows something, but she’s running out of time. She searches for the card, and the past pulls her back to the first time someone kidnapped her son. Back to her resentment.  Back to the truth.

You’re only as sick as your secrets . . .

“This dark thriller is intense, fast-paced, and sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.” – The Book Review Directory

Some secrets don’t stay buried.

If sixteen-year-old Hannah doesn’t score big on her AP Biology exam, she won’t get into the pre-veterinary medicine program of her dreams. But between her biology teacher assigning her an absurd research project, her friend Livvy keeping secrets, and a former nemesis igniting sparks of attraction she can’t ignore, Hannah’s focus is as steady as a three-legged puppy.

Hannah is convinced the school year can’t get any harder… until Livvy is killed by a mountain lion. Struggling to accept her best friend’s demise, Hannah researches mountain lions for her project. As she digs deeper into the species’ hunting behavior, she unearths conflicting facts about her friend’s death and reaches a staggering conclusion.

Can Hannah catch the killer before it’s too late, or will she become prey in a final hunt?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When I was a teenager, my family moved to a rural area in northern California. One of the first things our neighbors did when we arrived was warn us about mountain lion attacks. The big cats were prevalent in the area, and livestock had been killed. Since we owned horses, and one of our mares had recently given birth, our home was a prime target for an attack. We learned to make loud noises whenever we went outside, to walk in a line with the smallest child in front, and to keep yard lights on at night. We were constantly afraid. Now that I’m older and have moved away, I no longer look over my shoulder when I go outside. But I’ll never forget that time. It seemed too easy to use the fear I felt in one of my stories, and so, PREDATOR was created.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters in my book are fictional. Because of the presence of mountain lions in my story, I wanted to have my main character be involved with animals in some way. So it made sense for her father to be the town veterinarian, thus giving her a love of animals and biology. Once I established this part of her character, I filled in the descriptive details—quirky hair like her mom’s, her dad’s hazel eyes, her athletic ability overshadowed by her drive to get into college, etc. Creating the character for my MC’s crush was a little more difficult. I had used “the new boy” or “the new girl” in previous stories, so I wanted there to be some kind of connection already established between the two. At the same time, I wanted the romance to be fresh and surprising. Ultimately, I decided to make them childhood friends who had separated over the years because of a misunderstanding. In the end, I think their relationship worked out well for the story.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After four successful nonfiction books, I choose a new challenge. Fiction. A central character, premise, and setting had bounced around in my head for several years. When I committed to the story, my vision only extended as far as Overnight Delivery, the first Hank Anderson novel. Somewhere along the road I was captured by the idea that the growth of the relationships in OD presented the possibility that my readers would want to spend more time with these folks. A second storyline, complete with villains, rose to the surface and, multiple drafts later, The Mighty Shall Fall – Book 2 came to life. Initially planned as a prequel, focusing on the backstory of Hank’s connection with Detective Phil Evans, I quickly realized that several of Hank’s crew I had come to know and love would be eliminated from the narrative. Couldn’t do it. The Mighty Shall Fall became a sequel, and the backstory is contained within.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I am a mental health professional, which made the decision to write my central character as a fictional, out of the ordinary psychotherapist an easy choice. The joy in writing Hank has been the creation of a curious, courageous, funny, deeply committed man who is also flawed — at times impulsive to the point of recklessness. Surrounding him with a diverse cast of equally committed folks who ride the roller coaster of his misadventures draws on my lifetime of focus on relationships. A powerful influence in developing the connection between Hank and Detective Evans was my research on the friendship between Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons, The Big Man, sadly deceased sax player for the E-Street Band. Small man, tall man. Both powerful. Wild in their own ways. As I move into Book 3, stepping into a part of the world that I know well with the intention to create larger-than-life stories about credible, imaginary people, including villains, is endlessly fascinating.
