Wildcat Did Growl

Lea Palmer lives alone on a one-house cay in the eastern Abaco Islands of the Bahamas she inherited from her brother. Her days are peaceful and reflective, spent fishing or listening to the warm tropical wind rustle through the coconut fronds. When a small boat comes across the white-capped blue waves toward her island, everything is about to change. Folks have been telling her a woman shouldn’t try to live by herself out here, that paradise can have an edge some nights, with nasties about. These nasties, though, are about to find what it’s like to tangle with a wildcat.
