The Garbage Man

What she can't remember…just might kill her.

Kate Holland has spent years hiding from the world—and herself. Now a small-town cop, she's thrust into a nightmare when the mutilated body of a fellow veteran is dumped on a backroad.

Four years earlier, Kate spent eleven hours as a prisoner of war. Her Silver Star citation says she killed eleven terrorists to survive. But she has no memory of it. And now, chilling clues at the crime scene seem to connect directly to that forgotten day.

With her German Shepherd Ruger's instincts leading her through the darkness, Kate works to unearth the truth. But as the body count rises and the past closes in, she must face why she ran from the Army—before she becomes the killer's next victim.

🏆 The Garbage Man is a 2021 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Finalist for Best Investigator.
