The Killing of Two Birds, One Stone

Shady Pines, Oregon is the kind of town where everyone knows your name—and your secrets. Detective Harper MacLeod has worked hard to protect both: raising her son, keeping her family close, and guarding the peace of the community she’s sworn to serve.

But when bodies begin appearing in the pines, each marked with strange, unsettling details, Harper is thrown into a case that feels too deliberate to be random. The killer isn’t just leaving victims behind—they’re leaving a trail meant to rattle her, and perhaps even expose her in ways she can’t predict.

As the investigation deepens, Harper must juggle her duties as a detective, her responsibilities as a mother, and the growing fear that whoever is behind these murders knows exactly how close to cut.

Atmospheric and gripping, The Killing of Two Birds, One Stone is a small-town thriller where trust is fragile, danger hides in familiar places, and every secret comes with a price.
