The Wolf Wants In

More about the book

Still reeling from her brother's death, Sadie seeks answers in a county plagued by young deaths, particularly from overdoses. However, her brother wasn't an addict; his sudden passing at thirty-six, initially attributed to a heart attack by his wife, raises suspicions. Could it be that he didn't die from natural causes? Meanwhile, the small Kansas community grapples with another tragedy: Roger Calhoun and his daughter Macey have been missing for months. The public fallout from their contentious divorce and custody battle makes the situation even more complicated. When Macey's skull and her father's bones are discovered in the woods, her mother, a known addict and an old friend of Sadie's, becomes a primary suspect. Concurrently, Henley, a recent high school graduate, yearns to escape her family's troubled reputation and poverty. Dreaming of a better life beyond Kansas, she begins dating the son of the wealthiest man in town. Initially attracted to the allure of wealth, Henley soon finds herself in a suffocating relationship as he becomes increasingly aggressive, invading her privacy and stalking her every move. As both Sadie and Henley navigate their intertwined fates, the darkness of their small town looms ever larger.
