The Utah Shadow Thrillers

Utah Shadows Thriller Series

Utah is famous for its breathtaking landscapes.

It's also full of places where things don't quite add up.

When investigative journalist Gillian Cole begins looking into a disappearance in the remote canyon country of southern Utah, she uncovers evidence of something far larger than a single missing person. Hidden beneath abandoned mines, buried inside forgotten Cold War projects, concealed within historic landmarks, and scattered across the state's most iconic landscapes lies a network of secrets someone is willing to kill to protect.

From the red-rock canyons of Wayne County to the endless white expanse of the Bonneville Salt Flats, from Zion National Park to the mysteries of the Uintah Basin, each investigation reveals another piece of a conspiracy stretching across decades.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Atmospheric wilderness thrillers

 • Investigative mysteries

 • Government conspiracies and secret experiments

 • Strong female protagonists

 • National park and Western settings

 • Fast-paced suspense with intelligent twists

 • Standalone mysteries connected by a larger series arc

Each novel delivers a complete mystery while uncovering another layer of the shadows hidden beneath Utah's most legendary landscapes. As Gillian follows the evidence, one question becomes impossible to ignore:

Are these isolated crimes... or pieces of something much bigger?
