The Lure

Written by S.W. Hubbard

Narrated by Danny Campbell

Small town charm. Big city evil.

In a small Adirondack Mountain town, secrets are closely guarded. And outsiders with crazy ideas are not welcome. So Police Chief Frank Bennett has his hands full when a group of environmental activists shows up in Trout Run, New York, trying to close down Raging Rapids, a popular tourist attraction.

Frank thinks they're all noise. Until their leader turns up with a bullet in his heart.

Now Frank must figure out why this group targeted Trout Run. And how they're connected to a feral family who lives off the grid.

As Frank untangles the clues, he confronts the lure of cash, the lure of power, and the lure of a happy family.

Now Frank must navigate the dangerous intersection of love and greed. And one wrong turn could spell death to those he most wants to protect.
