GARRETT MCRAE HAS GONE MISSING DEEP in the Crazy Mountains of rural Montana. His bow hunting partners don’t appear concerned, since they fail to report his disappearance to authorities for nearly four full days.
Rick Morrand, now sheriff of Dexter County, grows suspicious, especially when he learns that one of the fellow hunters, Randall Boone, is rumored to have had an affair with Garrett’s wife, Amber. Rick also finds it troubling that Garrett and Boone had a fistfight in camp shortly before Garrett disappeared.
Amber, meanwhile, seems overly eager to get her hands on the proceeds of a substantial life insurance policy. When confronted, she claims that she needs the money to support her four-year-old disabled child, Gabe.
Early search efforts are complicated by a raging wildland fire. Garrett’s belongings and possible remains are eventually found by a Search and Rescue dog whose attractive female handler knew Garrett well—maybe a little too well.
The discovery of bone fragments and an excessive amount of Garrett’s blood make it hard to avoid concluding the bow hunter is dead. But how exactly did he die? Rick Morrand is hard-pressed to get answers in the midst of personal crises that threaten to distract him from getting to the truth.
Garrett McRae’s disappearance becomes Rick’s trial by fire as new sheriff—in more ways than one.
This is the second installment in Peter J. Ryan's Rick Morrand Mystery Series. Set in the rugged, unyielding Montana backcountry, Lost in the Crazies will take mystery readers on a riveting ride of unexpected twists and turns. It is a thrilling journey suspense enthusiasts will not want to miss.
Here is what readers are saying about Lost in the Crazies ...
"Knowing the land of which the author writes added great enjoyment to a wonderful story and mystery . I have fast become a fan of Mr. Ryan and I would recommend that he be explored by everyone who enjoys good books."
"Peter Ryan has continued to develop a Rick Morrand series that piques your interest to the very last page. All through the book, you are putting the puzzle pieces together and then the plot twists! Mr. Ryan has described his characters so you feel like you know them. His description of the Montana environment is spot on. Read and enjoy!"
"Excellent read! I couldn’t put it down. Peter Ryan is a master at building suspense. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good crime mystery!"
"(Lost in the Crazies) is a clever mystery that will keep you turning the pages until the end! The detailed development of the characters draws you into their lives and gives you an intimate familiarity with them. You feel their emotional suffering, and their individual strategy of coping with crises. I appreciated the accuracy of the Montana environment, fire and emergency services that were woven into the story. I actually enjoyed this read more than the first book in the series, ‘Edge of the Sawtooth’ and can’t wait for the next one!"
