An artist hiding from an escaped killer uncovers one of World War II’s most dangerous secrets—a secret that desperate men will do anything to keep hidden.
After the murder of her twin sister, Murphy Anderson changed her name and appearance and moved to Kodiak, Alaska, to avoid the press and publicity. But when local authorities discover she’s an artist and request her help in drawing a dying man’s memories, she unintentionally ends up in the limelight again—and back in the killer’s crosshairs.
The deathbed confessions of an Alaskan hunter have Murphy drawing the five bodies he discovered on remote Ruuwaq Island ten years ago. But what investigators find has them mystified. Evidence suggests that the bodies were deliberately destroyed, and what they uncover in an abandoned Quonset hut from World War II only brings more questions.
As one by one the investigators who were at the hut die, Murphy knows there is something much darker at stake. What happened on this island during the war? And who is willing to kill to keep its secrets buried?
MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Murphy Anderson may have changed her name and appearance and moved to Kodiak, Alaska, to avoid the press and publicity after her sister’s death, but the truth always seems to come out, no matter how hard we try to keep it secret. And when Murphy was ask to draw the deathbed confessions of an Alaskan hunter, she was in the spotlight again. But the question now is, who are these 5 bodies discovered on remote Ruuwaq Island ten years that Murphy has drawn?
One thing about this book, it keep you on the edge of your seat! Carrie Stuart Parks writes a riveting story based on bodies found on this remote island, and only a dying man tells the story. There was a lot of this story that was a bit gruesome to read. A lot of death, dead bodies, killings in cold blue. A little much for me at times. So much so I had to skim through a lot of the story to get to the end. The suspense and thrills were there, so for those who love a good thriller, you will like this one.
I received this book from TLC Tours to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 55.
