Book 1 in The Jakob Larsen Mysteries

Available now in paperback and on all popular ebook platforms.

Someone murdered sixteen-year-old Grace Sutherland and dumped her body along the riverbank.

The news shocks most in the Midwest town of Stonebridge, but for reporter Jakob Larsen, her death dredges up particularly bad memories. Two years ago, his father was murdered, and police have yet to make an arrest.

Knowing the pain the girl’s family feels, Jakob is determined to find answers for them. Answers his family still doesn’t have. But as Jakob hunts for the truth, he uncovers details that could rip the Sutherland family apart.

The Gentle Slope is the winner of the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for Best Suspense Fiction.
