The Rockslide: Book Three (DEAD END: A Clearwater Valley Thriller Series 3)

THE ROCKSLIDE
Book Three in the DEAD END: A Clearwater Valley Thriller Series

A dead-end road.

A catastrophic rockslide.

A killer hiding among the survivors.

When Beatrice Stwyer accidentally turns onto the isolated Canyon Wall Grade during a driving rainstorm, she witnesses something she was never meant to see: local mechanic Corbett Greene operating a hidden chop shop deep inside the canyon. Before she can escape, the mountainside erupts. Thousands of tons of rock crash onto the only road out, sealing the canyon and trapping everyone inside.

Deputy Rob Durham is the first law enforcement officer to reach the disaster, but the devastation is worse than anyone imagined. Rescue crews are hours away. Communications are cut off. Survivors are injured, frightened, and stranded beneath towering granite cliffs.

Then someone disappears.

The first body isn’t another victim of the rockslide.

It’s murder.

As floodwaters rise behind the natural dam created by the collapse, Rob realizes the greatest danger isn’t the unstable mountain... it’s the ruthless killer trapped in the canyon with them. Every survivor becomes a suspect. Every shadow hides a threat. Every hour brings another desperate fight for survival.

But the deadly trap reaches far beyond one isolated canyon. Hidden evidence uncovers another piece of Joseph Silver’s expanding criminal empire, revealing a conspiracy that stretches across the Clearwater Valley and threatens far more than a single dead-end road.

With nowhere left to run, Rob must rely on his training, courage, and determination to protect innocent lives while confronting a killer who believes the mountain has buried every witness forever.
