THE WICKED CRIES WOLF
McKenna Grey
Romantic Suspense / Thriller
In the shadow of Alaska’s Chugach Mountains, a darkness lurks and threatens a quiet coastal village in The Wicked Cries Wolf, the third book in the Kyndall Family Thriller series.
A woman desperate for solitude. A man with an enemy he can’t see. A dangerous game neither wants to play.
International
bestselling author Meaghan Ryers has gained wealth, success, and fame .
. . and all she wants is to be left alone. When her sister suggests she
escape to someplace quiet where no one will find her, Meaghan picks a
spot on the map and heads for Alaska.
Sheriff Donovan Kyndall of
Stewart’s Crossing, Alaska, arrives at the scene of a car fire after
receiving a mysterious call. He doesn’t expect a woman from out of town
to be at the scene, begging him to believe someone was killed. As clues
into the fire emerge, Donovan has to ask himself how she’s connected and
how a caller knows details from his own tragic past.
As the truth
is revealed, Donovan and Meaghan are entangled in a puzzle of lies,
treachery, and clues they must decode if they are to survive.

Prologue
Fire snaked into his
lungs. Suffocating. Debilitating. He couldn’t breathe, his body immobile. He
clawed at the air, at the coarse rope binding his feet, at everything his hands
managed to reach. Why were his hands free?
Is
this how someone feels when they burn?
Helios
promised him there would be consequences. It had only been one more fire, one
more kill. He had craved it more than he feared Helios’s warning.
One
more mistake.
Smoke
curled upward from the flames, dancing up the walls in a seductive swirl of
lights and sound. The crackling of gunshots echoed somewhere beyond the steel
door.
No
chance of escape.
He
didn’t deserve to die this way. His scream lodged deep in his lungs, so deep it
burned his insides. A round of hacking coughs escaped his scorched lips. He
desperately wanted water or a beer. Yes, when he got out of this—if he made
it—he’d down a whole six-pack of Bud Light and thank whatever powers that be
for his salvation.
I’ll
be good. If you let me live, God, I’ll be good forever.
Did
he hear his name coming back to him from the darkness beyond the flames? Yes,
but from where, exactly?
Damian.
It’s
only in my head. No. No, no, no!
He
heard shouts, or was fear mocking him? He yanked at the ropes around his ankles
and brought away flesh covered in his own blood. Why couldn’t he move?
The
door pounded. No, someone pounded on the door. The blaze caressed the floor
around him, moving closer with a lover’s passion, inch by inch. He heard the
loud crash this time and was certain someone stood on the other side of the
door. A gust of air whooshed into the room and the fire found new life. It
tormented him, licked his skin. A scream escaped, louder now because of the
burn. Two strong bodies in masks lifted him away from the center of the
inferno. His eyes remained opened, even as the sensation of floating carried
him away from the chamber. He’d promised to be good and he would be. No man or
woman or creature walking the earth could claim to be so good as he from this
moment on and into forever.
Darkness
consumed his whispered thanks while a cacophony of sirens trumpeted his fall
into oblivion.
