The Val Ryker series puts its protagonist through a gauntlet of dangerous situations across five books. Starting with Pushed Too Far in 2012, the series follows former cop Val Ryker as she faces threats that escalate from personal danger to full-blown survival horror.

Written under both the Konrath and Kilborn names, the Val Ryker books blend mystery and thriller elements with the kind of intense suspense that characterizes Konrath’s horror work. The School, published in 2015, is one of the more extreme entries in the series.
