Banner of Death

A killer waits in the trees. A red flag marks the next victim.

When a young couple is brutally murdered at their lakeside campsite, Sheriff Shea Callahan hopes it’s an isolated tragedy. But when another mutilated body turns up near the shore—again with a crimson camping flag staked outside—the horrifying pattern becomes undeniable.

The quiet town of Misty Hollow descends into fear as old legends resurface: three deaths always follow the lake’s call. But Shea knows this isn’t superstition—it’s cold, calculated murder.

Together with Deputy Trevor Bolton, Shea races to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. But as each red flag signals another victim, the town’s whispers of curses give way to the revelation of something far darker: a predator shaped by childhood trauma, haunted by closets, screams, and a blanket that burned.

With the body count rising and the killer always one step ahead, Shea and Trevor must face both the past and their growing connection—because in Misty Hollow, the line between duty and desire blurs in the face of death.

Taut with psychological suspense, serial-killer chills, small-town secrets, and a simmering slow-burn romance, Red Flag is perfect for fans of Lisa Jackson, Melinda Leigh, Allison Brennan, and Karin Slaughter.
