Together, they uncover a string of unsettling links to Shadow Island, each discovery more perplexing than the last.

Rebecca isn’t just chasing clues anymore...she’s fighting to stay afloat in a maelstrom of deceit. But as she delves deeper, she finds herself in the deep end...and sinking fast. 
From the intriguing beginning to the electrifying conclusion, Shadow’s Hoax—the twelfth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—plays out like a chess match. But in this deadly game, who is the pawn?
