TIDE
OF DARKNESS True-crime writer Harrison Weaver arrives at North Carolina's picturesque Outer Banks seeking peace and quiet. But his resolve to avoid even thinking about murder is dashed when he discovers, on the night of his arrival, that the body of another young female cast member of The Lost Colony outdoor drama has been found strangled and thrown into Croatan Sounda killing eerily similar to an unsolved case that first brought Weaver to the Outer Banks four years earlier. Despite his promise to himself, Weaver is drawn into the investigationonly to find that he may be the killer's next victim. Praise for the Harrison Weaver Mysteries Undertow of Vengeance,
Joseph Terrell's fourth thriller in the Harrison Weaver crime writer series,
and set in North Carolina's Outer Banks, is a knockout. With the deadpan
savvy delivery of Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade and the clipped declarative
sentences of Dashiell Hammett, this volume, like its predecessors, reaches
out in the very first sentence, grabs you by the lapels, and never lets
up. Smooth writing from
an eloquent storyteller goes down like fine scotch. Undertow of Vengeance
is a keeper. "Every once in
a while I'll pick up a book and from the first sentence, I'm engaged.
Written with an extraordinary eye for detail yet in the sparse language
of the journalist he once was, Terrell's novel is filled with wonderful
dialogue, believable characters and just enough plot twists to keep the
reader turning pages." "Joe Terrell
gets the Outer Banks just right, from crashing surf to the sordid crimes
behind the tourism façade, to a thoughtful sleuth who can throw
a punch and make a mean sweet tea." "A smart, savvy
combination of who-done-it and police procedural." |
