Into the Hollow

Perry Palomino has come through the worst period of her life, but recovery has not settled what she and Dex Foray owe each other. To start moving forward, she goes back to Experiment in Terror, the paranormal investigation show that made both their careers and tangled up their relationship along the way.

The new case sends the team into the remote Canadian Rockies in deep winter. Snow and isolation leave no room for the distance Perry and Dex have tried to keep. Their old mistakes and unresolved feelings press in at the same time as whatever haunts the wilderness.

This is the sixth book in the Experiment in Terror series, so it follows directly on the earlier entries and their history between the two leads. It is a paranormal horror story with a comic streak and adult-voiced angst, and it pushes the central relationship toward a reckoning that neither of them can keep dodging.

Expect a claustrophobic, cold setting where the fear comes from both the supernatural threat and the two people trapped with each other.
