“A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
—Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From sacred lands to the seductive pull of Hollywood, Detective Kari Blackhorse tracks a reservation runaway turned LA model, only to uncover a world where not all spotlights lead to stardom. With lives hanging by a thread, Kari must navigate through a web woven with lies, betrayals, and cultural mysteries to save those caught in the city’s ruthless glamour trap.

CLOSE TO DARKNESS is the ninth book in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews. The series begins with CLOSE BY (book #1).

The Kari Blackhorse series will keep you riveted, turning pages late into the night in this fast paced mystery series. Packed with shocking twists and featuring a brave and brilliant heroine, it offers a fresh take on the mystery genre—and a thriller that will keep you wanting more.
Fans of Lisa Regan, Robert Dugoni, and Kendra Elliot are sure to fall in love.
