Chase McGuire, the hero of Shadow White as Stone, is a private investigator with an unlisted number and a roster of secretive government clients. A frantic phone call from an old friend sends him to Oregon. Tommy Belmont is on the run, wanted for murdering his daughter, Alyssa. In the coastal village of Oregon Bay, McGuire faces a killer like none he’s ever seen—a man who strikes and disappears like a shadow into the fog. But what if the killer isn’t a man? The FBI shows up, tracking an international fugitive named BOWKNIFE. Is the mystery man connected to Alyssa’s murder? Three key witnesses are killed. McGuire knows he’s next. Hunting down the killer will take all his military training, his Washington contacts and his Irish determination. Plus a little help for a lady sheriff, Tracy Winters. His investigation leads him to Celeste Talane, a drugged-out ex-CIA operative driven insane by her desire for revenge—killing to cover her tracks. She takes Tracy hostage and offers Chase a deal: The sheriff’s life for BOWKNIFE. A showdown on the rocky Oregon coast finds the fugitive in custody and Celeste floating face down in the surf.
