The story is set in the community of Crescent Key on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, home of the very rich and very reclusive. As a favor for a client, Samuel “Loot” Landers, a brooding ex-cop and security expert on the island, goes on the trail of a missing mistress, but nothing is as it seems. As Landers goes on the trail of a killer, danger looms for Landers, as well as the woman he cares so much about. Lives are at stake, and it is winner take all.

A third book, Shadowstalker, is now available as an ebook and paperback book. He is currently at work on a new book, Return from Nowhere, set in Hatteras Village on the North Carolina Outer Banks.
I was not a big fan of crime novels, but this author changed my mind! The moment I put the book down I had to pick it right back up because I had to know what was next! That's how good this book is! Great read from start to finish and would recommend this book to everyone. Great job!
Shadowstalker is one of those rare books that captures you from page one and doesn't let go. The book is filled with memorable and "real" characters. The story has an excellent flow and is exceptionally 'paced' by natural dialogue and timely narration. I found the book very appealing on a sensory level. Mr. Shriner has mastered the art of Showing vs. Telling. This is a great writing lesson from which young authors can surely learn.
This is an example of when not to judge a book by its cover. Even the book title doesn't prepare the reader for what is inside. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. The subject matter may not be to everyone's taste. For those that are open minded, this is a great book with the identity of the serial killer being a complete surprise.
Wow.. Another 5 star rebook from Larry Shriner.. I loved this thrilling read that will have you on the edge if your seat. I must say I was sceptical at first but I saw a different side of the world and some terrifying thing that can happen to people who are different but not so different after all!!! I highly recommend this awesome read!!! Well worth it!
