SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Acclaimed mystery author Robin Somers returns to California’s rugged Sierra foothills with Three Marys: A Wild Horses Mystery, available today from Sibylline Press. Taut, atmospheric, and rich with a powerful sense of place, Three Marys plunges readers into a community under siege where wildfire and murder converge in a race against time. Three Marys: A Wild Horses Mystery is available beginning today in paperback and e-book formats from Sibylline Press, and audio book from Tantor Media.
When wildfire rips through California’s Gold Country, something even more dangerous moves in the smoke. A serial killer is hunting. Crime reporter Eleanor Wooley is determined to uncover the truth before the beloved Rodeo Queen becomes the next victim. But as flames consume the hills and fear grips the community, the search for answers turns personal—and perilous.
With the help of Anishinaabe guide Leonard Parker, Eleanor navigates a landscape where land and people are bound together by history, resilience, and fire. What they uncover will test loyalty, courage, and the fragile hope of renewal rising from the ashes.
“With Three Marys, Robin Somers delivers a high-stakes mystery set against the raw power of wildfire country,” said Vicki DeArmon, publisher of Sibylline Press. “Eleanor Wooley is relentless, courageous, and impossible to forget, exactly the kind of heroine our readers love.”
Advanced Praise for Three Marys: A Wild Horses Mystery
“Robin Somers makes the Sierra foothills as compelling and full of oh-so-human nature as C.J. Box’s Wyoming or Tana French’s western Ireland. It’s that good.”
— Bruce Kelley, Editor-in-Chief, San Francisco Magazine & Reader’s Digest
“…the smell of sage and the sound of snowmelt tumbling over rocks remain in the senses long after the story is done.”
— Kate Woodworth, author of Little Great Island and Racing Into the Dark
