After escaping Santa Fe with twenty million dollars in offshore accounts, Jane Ashcroft, her partner R, and their faithful dog, Fable, think they’ve finally found the place where no one can find them. They choose Bergen, Norway—a city of fog and fjords, of quiet streets and second chances—as the place no one could possibly find them.
At first, it feels perfect. They buy a villa high above the city, take a Norwegian class, and walk the cobblestone lanes pretending to be ordinary. Jane and Fable walk endlessly in the hills around the city, relaxing for the first time in years. Jane almost believes they’re safe.
But peace is fragile, and secrets have long shadows. When strangers begin asking questions and an old enemy resurfaces in a new disguise, Jane and R are forced back into the game they swore they’d left behind. Every move tightens the noose; every choice tests their loyalty, their courage, and the limits of what they’re willing to do to stay free.
In the end, Bergen will demand everything from them—a final reckoning that will decide whether they escape again… or vanish for good.
The Dog Walker: Reckoning is a taut psychological thriller of reinvention, betrayal, and survival set against the luminous darkness of Norway’s western coast.
