Bøker av Matthew Rudolph

Deep in the shadows of a Midwestern state park, something is hunting humans. When Special Forces veteran David Stoneking returns home to find his childhood haven has become a killing ground, he knows he can't ignore the mounting disappearances that local law enforcement seems powerless to solve. Drawing from his military training and haunted by his own mysterious encounter in these same woods years ago, David launches a private investigation that quickly becomes personal. With each missing person report, each grieving family interview, he uncovers patterns that others have missed. Alongside his resourceful friend Evan, David ventures deeper into the darkness, where the skills that kept him alive in combat may be all that stands between more innocent victims and an predator that's been perfecting its craft for years. Written by outdoorsman and martial artist Matthew Rudolph, "Public Land" brings authenticity to every scene, from tactical operations to wilderness survival. Rudolph's decade of hunting experience and martial arts expertise infuse this thriller with brutal realism, creating a story where every snapped twig and shadowy movement could mean the difference between life and death. For fans of William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series and C.J. Box's Joe Pickett novels, "Public Land" delivers a pulse-pounding mix of military precision and wilderness survival, where the tranquil façade of public parks masks deadly secrets, and the skills learned in war find new purpose in the battle for justice at home.
