In The Boy Who Cried Bear, New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong keeps readers on the edge of their seats while detective Casey Duncan tries to locate the threat before it's too late. . .
Haven's Rock is a well-hidden town surrounded by forest. And it's supposed to be, being that it's a refuge for those who need to disappear. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton already feel at home in their new town, which reminds them of where they first met in Rockton. And while they know how to navigate the woods and its various dangers, other residents don't. Which is why people aren't allowed to wander off alone.
When Max, the town's youngest resident—taught to track animals by Eric—fears a bear is stalking a hiking party, alarms are raised. Even stranger, the ten-year-old swears the bear had human eyes. Casey and Eric know the dangers a bear can present, so they're taking it seriously. But odd occurrences are happening all around them, and when a dead body turns up, they're not sure what they're up against.

      Starred review from January 15, 2024
      A couple continues their quest to provide sanctuary to people under threat. When the remote Yukon village of Rockton disbands, Sheriff Eric Dalton and Detective Casey Duncan vow to continue its mission of offering protection to people who need to disappear for a while. Now they serve as de facto managers of Haven's Rock, an equally protective shelter whose residents they carefully vet with the help of �milie, a shadowy benefactor with deep roots in the intelligence community. One change the couple adopts is to open Haven's Rock to families as well as individuals. That's how Dana and her sons, Carson and Max, join the community after the U.S. witness protection program failed to prevent her husband from being killed. Teenage Carson is quiet and brooding, but Max is a lively 10-year-old with an equally lively imagination. But is it his imagination that leads him to report seeing a bear following the villagers as they trek through the woods? Since Dalton and Casey can't take chances, they organize a hunt, which becomes more urgent when Max disappears. Security guards from a nearby mining operation report sightings of a wild forest man dressed in a bearskin. Could Max be the victim of an animal attack, or has he been lured away by something more sinister? Tensions mount as Dana blames her fellow residents for failing to protect Max, and Dalton and Casey must struggle to prove that their new community can be a safe haven for families. Stronger on suspense than puzzlement, Armstrong's new venture continues her Rockton tradition.
