Shadows In The Moonlight: A Detective Gideon Crowe Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798312417111)

Welcome to Cedar Hollow, a fog-drenched coastal town where old secrets fester and the shadows move when no one is watching.

When a mutilated body washes up along the rocky shoreline, Detective Gideon "Gid" Crowe-a former homicide investigator turned private detective-is drawn back into a world of murder, mystery, and something far worse than the crimes he used to solve. The victim's wounds bear an unsettling resemblance to old legends, whispered stories of creatures that should only exist in nightmares. But as more people turn up dead-mangled, clawed, drained of blood-Gid quickly realizes that this case is anything but normal.

The deeper he digs, the more he unearths the town's buried horrors. A reclusive medium warns that something ancient is awakening. A librarian plagued by strange gaps in his memory stumbles upon a diary detailing forgotten rituals. The new mayor is desperate to keep the town's reputation intact, even as a secretive mercenary arrives to eliminate what local authorities refuse to acknowledge. And then there's Chief Linda Porter, Gid's reluctant ally, who knows more than she's letting on-and who fears what might happen if the truth comes to light.

As the bodies pile up, Gid is forced to confront not only the town's supernatural affliction but his own haunted past. Years ago, he lost his fiancée, Natalie, in a case that should have never been left unsolved. Now, as eerie visions of her begin to blur with his waking life, he must decide: Is he chasing a murderer, or is he hunting something that cannot be caught?

With the full moon approaching, the danger escalates. Something lurks in the fog-watching, waiting. As the town's dark history collides with the present, Gid must decipher whether Cedar Hollow's werewolf curse is myth... or terrifying reality. And if the curse is real, stopping it might cost him everything-including his own humanity.

Shadows in the Moonlight blends chilling folklore, pulse-pounding crime investigation, and heart-stopping twists that will keep you turning pages long into the night.

Cedar Hollow has survived for centuries-but some curses refuse to die.
