Woods Cay

Hilton Head Island's favorite private investigator, Vance Devane, thought he'd seen it all—until one of the island's most celebrated chefs vanishes without a trace. What begins as a routine missing persons case quickly spirals into something far darker. Vance's investigation leads him to Woods Cay, a privately owned island shrouded in mystery and cut off from the world.

The deeper Vance digs, the clearer it becomes that someone will stop at nothing to keep the secrets of Woods Cay buried. As he navigates a tangled web of hidden alliances, dark betrayals, and unexpected allies, Vance uncovers a chilling connection between the chef's disappearance and a powerful elite determined to protect their empire at all costs.

With danger closing in, Vance must rely on his wits, his instincts, and his knack for uncovering what others want hidden. But as the body count rises and the stakes become personal, he realizes that solving this case might mean putting his own life—and those he cares for—on the line.
