Shadow's Watch - Paperback

by Mary Stone (Author), Lori Rhodes (Author)

The shadows are watching...

Less than twenty-four hours after Hurricane Boris ravages Shadow Island, it delivers one final blow. Two corpses, lashed together, wash up on the shore. Some of them, anyway.

With no primary crime scene, no witnesses, and barely any human remains, Sheriff Rebecca West has precious little to work with. Are these victims connected to the seemingly untouchable Yacht Club, or did Boris's awesome power simply push them onto her beach?

When the investigation identifies one of the John Does as a well-liked skipper who lived and worked a hundred miles away, Rebecca has more questions than answers. Was he simply at the wrong place at the wrong time? And who is the second victim? And why were his fingers chopped off before he was tossed into the sea?

When another body turns up on the beach with its fingers also missing, Rebecca knows one thing for certain. Boris might have swept the first victims onto her little island, but a murderer had already been waiting...and watching...there.

From its ghastly beginning to the unexpected final chapter, Shadow's Watch-the fifth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes-will make you question how well you really know the people in your life.
