Shadow's Reckoning: Shadow Island Mystery Files (Shadow Island Series Book 20)

Sheriff Rebecca West responds to a late-night dispatch reporting a fatal car accident on a bridge. The victim is her informant—a man who provided her with a thumb drive containing evidence against someone who destroyed her life. He was traveling to Shadow Island to seek her protection when he died. The strangulation marks on his neck reveal the truth: this was not an accident, but an execution. Rebecca identifies the killer as someone who has systematically silenced opposition, including her parents and an inventor who once worked for him. Now he is targeting Rebecca. Each act of violence serves as a warning, each victim a message. The killer uses murder to make examples. Rebecca must find a way to stop him before she becomes his next target. The stakes involve her survival, and the game between them is underway.
