Beschreibung

In this “stunning [and] enthralling” thriller from an Edgar Award–winning author, a politician’s wife covers up her hit and run and gets blackmailed (Miami News). 
 
On a country road on a dark, rainy night, Martha Bascom’s life is changed forever. As the young wife of Lem Bascom, the front-runner in a gubernatorial race and a presidential hopeful, Martha has everything to lose when she accidentally hits a man with her car. Convinced by a political ally to cover up the incident, Martha reluctantly agrees. 
 
Then her nightmare begins. Someone knows the truth and is determined to torture her with it. Soon she falls prey to a terrifying blackmail scheme, a secret she can share with no one. Especially her husband. She might be protecting him, but will Martha be able to save herself?

    When the dead can't speak, the shadows whisper their secrets. 
    There’s never a dull moment on Shadow Island, especially for its small but growing sheriff’s department. This time, Sheriff Rebecca West, along with new deputy Viviane Darby, discover a man hanging from the rafters of the caretaker’s shed at Oceanview Cemetery. 
    Does death follow Rebecca? Or does she attract it? 
    The scene suggests suicide—an unlocked padlock, a rope, a toppled bench, and the lifeless body. The plot thickens when they unearth the fact that the man’s high school love and former wife, claimed by cancer, lies buried close by. Surely, the man took his own life. 
    Rebecca’s gut says otherwise. 
    When she investigates the dead cybersecurity expert’s office the next day and interrupts a burglary in progress, things are suddenly not so cut and dried. Now they’re looking for a murderer—one who’s gone to a lot of trouble to cover their tracks and make the victim’s death look like a suicide. 
    And he isn’t finished. 
    A cybersecurity expert could make a lot of enemies. The next "suicide" victim had only one. And Rebecca must find and stop him before he strikes again. 
    From the staggering beginning to the unpredictable conclusion, Shadow’s Darkness—the tenth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—is a reminder that sometimes, the answers lie in embracing the shadows, because everyone has a hidden side.

    The name of Dunstan Vardis had become almost legendary in the underworld since his escape from prison five years ago. In some secret and mysterious way he had developed a sure-fire method of hiding wanted criminals. Every killer in the underworld came to Dunstan Vardis for protection. 
    “Just a minute, Mr. Klaw!” a photographer begged. “Stand still for a second, will you?” 
    The man raised a bulky camera to his eye and sighted through the periscope. He had his finger on the lever to click it down. Before he could do so, Stephen Klaw took his right hand from his pocket. There was an automatic in it. Without wasting a fraction of an inch of motion, Klaw fired from the hip. 
    The shot echoed and re-echoed like thunder in the vaulted train-shed. The slug smashed square into the camera, driving through the box and embedding itself in the photographer’s skull.
