Stone & Steele: Money On the Run
By Melissa Saulnier
Nine years ago, Mark Wheeler discovered that Richardson Energy Partners was not an energy company. It was a cartel empire, avocado farms in Mexico, shell corporations across Alaska and Canada, drug manufacturing disguised as agriculture, and billions laundered through legitimate utility and telecom networks. He photographed the evidence, copied the files, and ran. His silence cost him everything, including his family. Now, exhausted and haunted, he walks into the FBI with a drive that could bring it all down.
He asks for two people he can trust: Detective Emma Stone and FBI Special Agent Jeremiah Steele. The investigation pulls them deep into Richardson's network. A multi-agency Task Force, FBI, DEA, APD, Alaska State Troopers, and the RCMP, is the only structure capable of tracking an operation this sophisticated. No single agency closes all the gaps. They place Wheeler in a Seward safe house under federal witness protection, shielding him from a cartel that has already proven willing to eliminate anyone who threatens the empire.

Stone & Steele: Murder on the Rocks
By Melissa Saulnier
When a hiker turns up dead near Talkeetna, Alaska, Anchorage Detective Emma Stone and FBI Agent Jeremiah Steele are thrown together on a joint task force, and neither is happy about it. Emma is sharp, instinct-driven, and fiercely independent, a woman who built walls around herself long before the job gave her a reason to. Steele is methodical, analytical, and emotionally guarded, a fifteen-year Bureau veteran who trusts data over gut feelings. They clash from the moment they meet.
Posing as tourists at a local B&B, Emma and Steele dig into a tight-knit survivalist group called The Alliance, whose charismatic elder, Walter Kendrick, seems just a little too helpful. When stream samples reveal significant gold deposits on federal land, and a second body turns up, the stakes rise fast. Someone is willing to kill to protect a secret buried in the Alaskan wilderness.
As the danger closes in, so does something unexpected. In the quiet moments between close calls and late-night case reviews, Emma and Steele begin to see past each other's defenses. What starts as friction slowly becomes something neither of them planned for.
Murder on the Rocks is a thriller about gold, greed, and two very different people discovering that solving crimes together may be easier than keeping their distance.
