What happens when a female Bigfoot rescues a human infant from a mudslide?
A year ago, Jack Lee's homicide detective partner was killed in the line of duty. Ever since, his law enforcement career and marriage spiraled down.
He decides to reinvent his life and leave Seattle to take a job as the police chief of Cedar Island, Washington. He grew up there and plans on a quiet life in the small island town where he once felt happy and secure. His artist wife, Margo, is a reluctant city girl and she only goes with him under protest. Her niece, Jenn, who will soon be college bound, also joins them.
Immediately upon moving to his dead father's house on the waterfront, his new job as police chief of Cedar Island challenges him with the aftermath of a devastating mudslide, the mystery of a dead woman, a missing infant, and rumors of a Bigfoot presence. Within 24 hours of taking the new job, all hell breaks loose on the island - - it seems that nothing in Jack Lee's world is going to be as easy or as safe as he thought.
Enter Jack's longtime best friend, Dr. Allie Chandler, an anthropologist. Her wacky lifetime obsession with searching for the Sasquatch could be the saving grace in a dangerous situation.
Readers will enjoy a third-person mystery from the point of view of the female Bigfoot, which alternates with chapters from Jack Lee's point of view (and other characters' points of view), until the plot intersects their paths with exciting action between the humans and the Bigfoot. While many monster novels tend to demonize mythical creatures, BIGFOOT ISLAND is a refreshing look at what goes on inside the minds of the misunderstood creatures that star in this new, exciting series.
BIGFOOT ISLAND is page-turning murder mystery with a stunning conclusion that will leave readers cheering.
Eve Paludan, the author of more than 40 novels, breaks new ground in her writing career with the launch of the Police Chief Jack Lee Creature Island Mystery series. The first novel is not romantic, but it contains an engaging storyline wrapped around compelling, realistic characters - - the hero's perspective is juxtaposed with the creature's perspective, and a feel-good ending makes it a satisfying read. More novels in the series are planned. Stay tuned!
