Six years ago, her parents were murdered. Now she's gone.

'DYING IS THE  BEST REVENGE'

One evening at midnight on a dark Lake Michigan beach, a man peers through binoculars, intently observing a carefree young woman enjoying a bonfire with classmates. Knowing her patterns, minutes later as Cadie McLeod leaves the party and walks into the desolate dunes, ‘The Weirdo’ chokes, drugs, and drags the limp 18-year-old to his hidden truck. As a storm rolls in across the Great Lake, the man drives Cadie to a remote location where he imprisons the unconscious woman in an old root cellar built into a hillside. 

The night selected for Cadie’s abduction is not random. Six years ago, on the very night that Cadie is abducted, her parents, Thomas and Aileen, were run down in grisly fashion as they walked hand in hand across a deserted coastal highway. Their killer was never captured, and everyone assumed it was a random drunk driver. However, the truth is far more evil and horrifying. The Weirdo is finalizing his revenge plan that began with the murder of Thomas and Aileen and will end with the murder of their only daughter.

If the highly-intelligent Cadie is going to live and solve the mystery of her parents’ murder, she must escape the unusual prison by her own cunning. Meanwhile, the investigation into her abduction leads police in many directions. At the tale’s end, a fight-to-the death takes place aboard the mini yacht Best Revenge in a raging Lake Michigan storm. The villain and his reasons for murder are revealed - hate-fueled reasons spanning decades that no one could have predicted. 

The dark, mysterious, and suspenseful kidnap thriller A Devil in the Dunes is an addictive, plot-driven novel. Readers will be fully immersed in this dark tale, quickly turning page after page to discover why Thomas and Aileen were murdered and what happens to their only child.
