Hidden Agendas

It’s been a rough and harrowing few months for Alastair Stone and his closest friends—but despite all the mayhem they get up to together, they still have separate lives that sometimes take them in very different directions. Stone, still acclimating to both a new family member and the shocking developments he’s recently learned about Calanar, turns his attention back to a situation he’s avoided far too long: exacting his revenge on the murderer of a friend. Unfortunately for him, the path isn’t as smooth as he’d hoped it would be. Meanwhile, Verity has feelings for someone new in her life—but as she makes her first tentative steps toward exploring them, she becomes more convinced that something—or someone—is interfering with their budding relationship. And Jason and Amber have a new case for their agency: visitors to a remote, exclusive corporate retreat are reporting sightings of a large and terrifying cat—one that leaves no traces or any way to track its passage. When someone is murdered at the retreat, they must discover if the elusive creature is the culprit, or if an even more dangerous foe stalks the area.
