Long Shadows: From the number one bestselling author (Amos Decker series Book 7)

Product Information

The case - a judge and her bodyguard murdered together - seems simple at first, but Decker and White quickly realise that nothing is as simple as it seems as they get drawn into a web of intrigues spanning the whole of Florida and going back over generations.

S. Geological Survey, leading to “immediate suspension of the National Volcano Early Warning System,” and there’s always someone around looking to monetize the natural disaster and the sasquatch-y onslaught that follows. Brooks is a pro at building suspense even if it plays out in some rather spectacularly yucky episodes, one involving a short spear that takes its name from “the sucking sound of pulling it out of the dead man’s heart and lungs. Now he's sent to Florida with a brand-new partner, Special Agent Frederica White, to investigate the murder of a federal judge. This in itself is strange because there are more than enough FBI agents in Miami to investigate these murders.Once, when he had been here visiting his dead family, a dying man named Meryl Hawkins had wandered out of the woods and demanded justice from Decker, in connection with the first case Decker had worked as a homicide detective. The crowd here was large; Earl and Mary Lancaster were well-known and well-liked, and Sandy had made many friends at her school. I very much liked Freddie and assume we’ll meet her again as they develop a respect for each other over the course of this investigation.

Mary Lancaster, at least in her mind, could not have committed a graver sin than not remembering that her daughter existed. There came another lengthy pause where all Decker could hear was the woman’s breaths and then a sob that was so dry and drawn out it sounded like she was strangling.In these words he could sense her seeking some level of solidarity with him in diseases of the mind that would end up doing them both in. We are—well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006). He put his suitcase down inside the door of his apartment, and tore open the letter with his thick finger. If he could just come up with the right words that would let this episode end well when it could so very easily go the other way.
