Shadow's Force

Which is more dangerous...Mother or Human Nature?

Twelve hours earlier, Interim Sheriff Rebecca West was enjoying a casual lunchtime burger. Now she's preparing for a hurricane headed straight for Shadow Island. While hauling sandbags and calming town officials, the last thing she needs is a stunned man stumbling into the sheriff's department.

Covered in blood.

Clearly in shock, the man doesn't know who he is and only mutters about needing help finding a mermaid. Is he distraught because he killed someone or because he witnessed a horrific event?

Rebecca needs to find out-and fast.

Fighting the torrential rain and wind, Rebecca discovers the victim, posed and decorated like a mermaid. Is the catatonic man the killer? Or is something more sinister at work?

With very little support, she has to work quickly before the island is completely cut off from the mainland and any evidence is destroyed by the natural disaster. It's all hands on deck as Rebecca and the entire department scramble to prepare for a hurricane...and solve a murder.

From its enigmatic beginning to the nail-biting conclusion, Shadow's Force-the fourth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes-will make you fear the storms of nature and love.
