When wildfire rips through California’s Gold Country, something even more dangerous moves in the smoke.
A serial killer is hunting.
Crime reporter Eleanor Wooley is determined to uncover the truth before the beloved Rodeo Queen becomes the next victim. But as flames consume the hills and fear grips the community, the search for answers turns personal—and perilous.
With the help of Anishinaabe guide Leonard Parker, Eleanor navigates a landscape where land and people are bound together by history, resilience, and fire. What they uncover will test loyalty, courage, and the fragile hope of renewal rising from the ashes.
Taut, atmospheric, and rich with sense of place, Three Marys is a gripping mystery about the stories we tell, the secrets we keep, and the strength it takes to face both.
“Robin Somers makes the Sierra foothills as compelling and full of oh-so-human nature as C.J. Box's Wyoming or Tana French's western Ireland. It's that good.”
— Bruce Kelley,Editor-in-Chief, San Francisco Magazine & Reader’s Digest
“...the smell of sage and the sound of snowmelt tumbling over rocks remain in the senses long after the story is done. ”
—Kate Woodworth, author of Little Great Island and Racing Into the Dark
