The Fulton County Footsteps

Seven years in total darkness.

One desperate secret.

And a trail of muddy footprints that could destroy everyone.

For seven years, Grace has survived a living hell, trapped inside a hidden Cold War doomsday bunker buried deep beneath the rural Arkansas mud. Her only connection to the outside world is her calculating captor, John, and the devastating realization that her young daughter is being raised just above her head, completely unaware of the horror beneath her feet. 

Meanwhile, newly minted FBI Agent Dakota Diaz returns to face a chilling first assignment. The local missing persons cases are multiplying across the county lines, and every forensic clue points toward an organized, methodical predator operating right under the noses of local law enforcement. Alongside her retired mentor Hilrey Higgins, Dakota launches a relentless manhunt into the isolated woods.

But as the grid tightens around the property, Hilrey’s own dark legacy of vigilante justice threatens to collide with the official federal investigation. To save a woman running out of time, Dakota must expose a hidden monster before the ultimate secret is buried forever.

Written with the raw, uncompromising authenticity of a former law enforcement officer, THE FULTON COUNTY FOOTSTEPS is a claustrophobic, heart-pounding psychological crime procedural perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, C.J. Box, and True Detective.
