Electric Peak:: A Suspenseful Montana Thriller Set In The Shadow of Yellowstone (A Rick Morrand Mystery Book 3)

A lawyer falls dead on Yellowstone’s Electric Peak—struck by lightning, they say. Sheriff Rick Morrand has reason to think otherwise. Samuel Hutchinson died while hiking with his volatile stepson, who swears he wasn’t present when it happened. His alibi feels thin—and when Samuel’s law partner is taken out days later by a sniper’s bullet, coincidence turns to threat. Both lawyers were tied to Delacourt Laboratories, a pharmaceutical startup run by a wunderkind CEO who seems to know Samuel’s widow well—perhaps too well. Enter DEA agent Maya Pearson, sent north from El Paso because Samuel contacted the DEA before he died, though no one knows what he wanted or why. Maya is still haunted by the death of her partner, killed during a drug raid gone wrong. The case that shattered her life may now collide with Rick’s in ways neither expects. Then comes Draper Townsend: habitual criminal, Rick’s old nemesis, newly released from an overcrowded prison and already stirring trouble. All while Rick battles a scourge of drug overdoses that have invaded his sleepy Montana town. Two dead lawyers. A flirtatious widow and her ne’er-do’well son.. A drug epidemic. A ruthless thug. A grieving DEA agent and a stubborn sheriff who may need each other more than they like. The mountains hide secrets—but those who search for them must first survive them. For fans of gritty mystery thrillers, small-town crime novels, and high-stakes suspense set in the American West, this is a relentless race for answers—where survival isn’t guaranteed, and justice comes at a deadly cost. This is the third installment in Peter J. Ryan's Rick Morrand Mystery Series. Using the rugged, Montana backcountry as a backdrop, Electric Peak will take mystery readers on another riveting ride of unexpected twists and turns. It is a thrilling journey suspense enthusiasts will not want to miss.
