Dead Fall Back — Tony Masero

He thought it was going to be an easy life.
When ex-DC cop Paul Stoeffel first took over as police chief in the quiet West Virginian resort town, he believed he was in for a gentle ride into retirement.
Things change radically when they find a child cruelly murdered in the gloomy woods alongside Dead Fall Back, a place already tainted with a sad history.
As the bodies stack up, events rapidly escalate into a situation that puts the whole isolated town into peril.
Surrounded by deep forest and cut off from the outside world Chief Stoeffel and his small off-season police team, find themselves standing alone against something more sinister and far reaching than the youngster's murder. It is a dangerous situation that can only lead inevitably to a violent and bloody confrontation.
