This Fallen Prey

Casey Duncan is a police detective in Rockton, an isolated town with no cell phones, no internet and no mail. It was built as a refuge for people running from their pasts, and nobody comes or goes without the town council's approval.

Since she arrived, Casey has worked two separate homicide cases and started a romance with her boss. Now the council hands her a harder problem. It sends a dangerous criminal, Oliver Brady, into Rockton with no plan for holding him or protecting the residents around him.

Brady insists he has been set up. The longer he stays, the more things in town go wrong, and the trouble does not look random.

Then evidence surfaces that someone inside Rockton may be working with him and helping him get out. Casey has to work out who Brady really is and which crimes he is responsible for, while the people she is meant to protect live alongside a prisoner nobody can properly contain.

The next installment in the series, this thriller plays out inside a closed community where the accomplice could be any neighbour. Casey has to find that person before Brady gets out, and Rockton is about to get more dangerous.
