Blood On The Sand

Cookbook author Jaick Connally has a phobia about lightning storms. He feels safe in the middle of New Jersey. Then he inherits a beachfront condo in Hollywood, Florida.

Reluctantly, he moves to live in the condo. A week later, Jaick sees a huge dark shape swallow up someone before his eyes during a thunderstorm. The police call it a simple disappearance, but Jaick feels there's more to it.

A chance remark at a local diner drives Jaick to look into another person who disappeared during a storm. Jaick discovers that 125 people have vanished along the Florida East Coast over the past 40 years. No one realizes they have a single cause because the killer moves between Daytona and Miami.

Jaick runs into a librarian named Elaine Brewster at the Agate City library. She takes an immediate interest in the disappearances and Jaick. Can Jaick uncover the cause of the disappearances before he becomes a victim himself?
