subjects”. The worst part is that the test subjects are children!! What are we willing to give up when we are told the very existence of the human race hangs in the balance? I could go into more of the story line, but this is an adventurous road you need to travel on your own. This story is only Part 1 of what I understand is a trilogy. I can’t wait to get to the next epic and I know you will feel the same way once you’ve read this wonderful piece.

to Miami, Bev leaves no stone unturned. She elicits the help of her friend Chris Green, dive instructor and owner of a local dive shop, who incidentally was hired to give lessons to a Hollywood star. Yes, Hollywood has come to town. Some consider it an invasion while others will prosper from the big spenders. But just as in real life some behind the scene characters are not always as they seem. From the wife-beater found with a butcher knife in his chest, to the town eccentric that apparently drowned in the mangrove islets, to the Hollywood film crew special effects member shot dead in the dive shop, to the estranged ex-convict husband tragically taken out by a police marksman, the action is non-stop. What erupted in the quaint little vacation town? A story from the past, ghost wandering the out islands, a Hollywood movie on location, secret night dives, romantic and lustful interludes, all intertwine to reveal one most unexpected tale of fortunes lost and fortunes found. This is the third book in the "Shade" series and has a delightful tone that blends well with the first two-Shades of Truth and Shades of Murder-while working well as a stand-alone book. I am looking forward to a recorded personal interview with this author on Writers in the Sky Podcast February 29, 2008.
