The Red Flock ^Featured

Some obsessions take flight. Others leave bodies behind.

Heart surgeon Jed Miller and his artist wife, Lexi, have built their lives around beauty, status, and birds. To the public, their C-14 Foundation protects endangered species. Behind closed doors, its wealthy inner circle, known as The Red Flock, pays smugglers to capture the rarest birds on Earth.

Their obsession deepens when a priceless copy of John James Audubon’s Birds of America disappears from Portland’s Central Library and a former curator is murdered.

Detective Kim Jansen follows the trail into a polished world of collectors, conservationists, and philanthropists who regard laws as obstacles meant for lesser people. Veterinarian Jim Briggs enters the secret society undercover, where elaborate rituals disguise greed and preservation has become possession.

As Jansen closes in, Jed and Lexi begin turning on each other, exposing betrayals that threaten their marriage, their freedom, and anyone who knows what they have done. Beauty has become an appetite, and the Millers will not surrender their treasures quietly.

The Red Flock is psychological suspense about obsession, privilege, moral decay, and the dangerous hunger to own what should remain free.
