After twenty-five years chasing killers in Portland, homicide detective Arlen Cowger thought retirement would bring peace. Instead, it brings him home.

Back in Clarksville, Arkansas, Arlen inherits a stretch of wild land along the Mulberry River-twenty acres of forest near a place called Wolf Pen. With dreams of building an off-the-grid cabin and finally starting over, he imagines a life of solitude, healing, and simple freedom.

But the Ozarks have other plans.

When Arlen befriends Dane Linden, a local farmer, he's drawn into a haunting mystery: Dane's sister, Darla, vanished without a trace fifteen years ago. No suspects. No evidence. No answers. Just silence.

The police gave up long ago. Arlen can't.

With his seasoned instincts and a stubborn streak that earned him a reputation as a bulldog detective, Arlen begins unraveling the secrets Darla left behind-an abandoned phone, forgotten fingerprints, and a trail of men who once circled her life in unsettling ways. Each name he uncovers pulls him deeper into the shadows of a small town where old memories run deep and old dangers never died.

As Arlen rebuilds his own life among the Arkansas hills, he must decide: can he solve the one case no one else could, or will Wolf Pen claim another ghost?

Off the Grid is more than a cold-case mystery. It's a story of reinvention, friendship, and emotional healing-a friendship novel, a life transformation book, and an emotional healing story wrapped in a gripping adventure fiction novel. Fans of small town fiction, contemporary fiction books, and literary fiction novels will find both suspense and heart in these pages.

Perfect for readers searching for:

adventure fiction books filled with suspense and atmosphere
coming of age books and journeys of renewal
novel books about friendship and resilience
inspirational fiction books about starting over
contemporary literature & fiction with a twist of mystery

Step into the Ozarks, where the river runs quiet, but secrets never rest.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.

Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
