About this ebook
The idyllic private village of Maidenwell is shrouded in secrecy. Tucked away in the unforgiving Oregon Badlands and surrounded by rugged terrain, Maidenwell is intentionally isolated. There are no roads leading in or out, and the village’s perimeter is guarded by an invisible fortress of cutting-edge technology.
When a mysterious woman shows up at the village bakery attempting to purchase a cup of coffee (with cash, of all things!), all hell breaks loose.
No one knows who she is or why she’s there, and the stranger won’t talk…except to one person: Gina Biletti.
As the intruder unveils her secrets, Gina finds herself embroiled in a complex plot of intrigue and peril involving a vanished Native American girl and a cryptic clue that lures Gina beyond Maidenwell’s borders and into a journey fraught with danger.
From the rugged wilds of rural Oregon to the glittering ballrooms of a Sun Valley gala, Gina is thrust into a world dominated by wealth, power, and monstrous evil—where the “pillars of society” hide the most vile of crimes.
As her undercover mission spirals out of control, Gina faces a desperate fight for survival. It’s a race against time to rescue the lost and expose the evil lurking in the shadows.
Join Gina as she risks everything to bring a ruthless criminal enterprise to its knees and prove that there’s no limit to what a woman can achieve when she refuses to back down.
“Packed with pulse-pounding suspense, shocking plot twists, and a cast of unforgettable characters, THE INTRUDER is a masterful thriller that celebrates the unbreakable bond of female friendship and the incredible resilience of women in the face of unimaginable odds.”

About the author
Hello,
B.G. Wood here.
If you’re into sleepy English style villages with a side of mystery, you’re in the right place.
As a kid, I was glued to the TV watching Columbo reruns with my mom—I guess you could say my love for mysteries started young and never let up. My dad introduced me to the charm of quaint English villages like Burton-on-Water in the Cotswolds and I’ve been hooked ever since. Maybe that’s why my protagonist, Gina Biletti, finds herself navigating murder and mayhem in a similar setting.
Just like Gina, I’m a New York suburbanite who flew the coop for the West Coast. These days, you’ll find me in the high desert of Central Oregon (just a few hours drive from the fictional Maidenwell) where I’m no stranger to the odd alpaca, fox, or magpie (in addition to a couple of very demanding rescue dogs: chow chow and Husky mix if you must know!)
Now, here’s where it gets a little weird: When I’m not spinning mysteries, I’m diving into 19th century history or exploring high tech futures. An author’s got to stretch themselves, right?
