Dark Signal

Book 2 of the Kate Fox Series

Things aren’t always as bad as they seem.
Sometimes, they’re a lot worse.

Kate Fox has just defeated her ex-husband in the race for Grand County Sheriff, but there’s no time for celebration. Instead, she’s called to the railroad tracks just outside of town.

The train engineer is dead. His conductor is in shock. And Kate’s gut is telling her this is much more than just a horrific accident.

The victim’s widow is behaving oddly. The neighbor’s story doesn’t add up. The victim had recently made several enemies—and they all have motive for murder.

As Kate works to solve the case, she knows she has to trust her instincts—even if that means disagreeing with State Patrol Officer Trey Ridnour.

With the stakes high and the whole town watching, Kate uncovers a plot darker than she ever imagined. The clock is ticking, and Kate knows it’s up to her to bring the killer to justice… before tragedy strikes again.

“Welcome to a world of danger, action, and complicated relationships. Shannon Baker has created a finely crafted mystery that moves to its powerful climax like the rush of an oncoming train. This book kept me reading too far into the night.”

—Anne Hillerman

“Baker’s follow-up to Stripped Bare (2016) pushes her franchise across the cold prairie landscape as steadily and professionally as a BNSF freight train, leaving readers eager for the next stop.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“A good mystery keeps you guessing about the killer to the end. Dark Signal kept me in the dark for most of the book and the killer made sense, too. I like that! I had fun cheering on the smart, determined heroine and can promise you will as well.”

—Compulsive Reader

“Baker also beautifully conveys the stark, breathtaking landscape of the Great Plains in midwinter, giving her story a wonderfully tactile sense of place. That place is one you’ll want to return to in future Kate Fox novels.”

—Colorado Book Review
