At 3:20 this morning, fifteen or twenty miles from my coffee pot was the epicenter of a 6.1 earthquake that shook my little house like a baby rattle. That familiar sound of glasses and knick knacks knocking together, the lights flickering on and off, the rush of adrenaline as you grab your sleeping babies from their bed and secure them in your arms while you ride the waves that rumble beneath your feet. Then silence. The next sound you hear is your phone chirping from all the Facebook posts that are blowing up your news feed. Oh drat…the coffee stopped brewing. UGH!!

Her sister, Joan, has been missing for more than a week and this time Melinda Bailey is really worried.

Island of Spirits (Ed Lane Book 2)
Henry Simpson
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
Ed Lane is hired as security officer for a team of ecologists and researchers restoring an island to its natural state. On site, the team’s anthropologist uncovers a local myth about a young woman named Isabel who lived on the island in the 1800s and had a love affair with ship captain. She died after he abandoned her, and now haunts the island, taking out her vengeance on lonely men. Several have died over the years. A month after Lane arrives, a ranch employee hangs himself. At the scene, Lane meets a young woman who says she is Isabel and he is her missing lover. He dismisses the encounter. After hunters decimate the island’s non-native deer and elk, a triple-crescent moon appears in the sky, an earthquake occurs, wildlife disappear, and the island becomes eerily silent, as if reacting to the slaughter. Another man dies, and Lane encounters Isabel again. Confused by her ghostly presence and other strange events, Lane consults a shaman who assists him on a vision quest that profoundly alters his understanding of Isabel, his connection to her, the spirits of nature, and his own existence.
