The Woodsman

'Phenomenal...I highly recommend THE WOODSMAN for anyone who loves suspenseful thrillers. Great for fans of Heather Gudenkauf, Dean Koontz, James Patterson, and Chevy Stevens. Be warned though, once you start reading, you won’t want to put the book down until you’ve reached the last page.'-Dawn Hosmer, Author of Bits & Pieces and Mosaic'Someone should pick up the film rights to B.C. Lienesch’s thriller THE WOODSMAN as it would make a great movie or miniseries. Compelling characters, storyline, and terrific pacing pulled me through this story at breakneck speed and had me turning pages late into the night.'-Shawn Burgess, Author of The Tear Collector'The story is so compelling, the characters so expertly drawn, I’d swear this was the work of someone who’s been writing successfully for decades. Make no mistake, B.C. Lienesch is a name you’ll be hearing a lot more of in the very near future.'-David Allen Voyles, Author and Creator of the Dark Corners Podcast'THE WOODSMAN is an astoundingly confident and polished debut by BC Lienesch, filled with richly-drawn characters-some that will feel like old friends by the end of the book, some that you’ll love to hate-and brimming with heart-stopping thrills and pulsing action scenes. Jackson Clay is a character to stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Jack Reacher. Don’t sleep on this!'-Austin Shirey, Author of The Hound of Oakenhall and Down Along the YoconaJackson Clay used to be many things. An Army Ranger. A loving husband. A doting father. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, in the wake of unspeakable tragedy, he’s simply the missing’s last hope.When quiet high schooler Sara Beth Parker disappears in the night from her home in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Detective Angela Cole is assigned the case. A black woman in a department full of white men, she’s made a career for herself working harder and being better than the badges beside her. But when leads begin to dry up and her own peers start to question whether Parker was taken or simply ran away, Cole feels herself being pushed to the edge. And when an old colleague introduces her to Jackson, she’ll break her own rules and place any hope of finding Sara Beth in his hands.Determined to breathe life into a case that has quickly gone cold, Jackson begins to unravel a tangled web of secrets and lies that put him in the crosshairs of a sociopathic killer and his heavily-armed cult - a group that may be responsible for much, much more than just Sara Beth’s disappearance. But enemies also have enemies, and when Jackson gains the help of a charismatic boor named Bear, together they’ll take the fight to the cult, determined to bring Sara Beth home. THE WOODSMAN is 'an unputdownable, suspenseful, and gripping book full of twists and turns.' (Dawn Hosmer, author of Bits & Pieces)
