Thunderstruck
When the small town of Saranac Lake, in the Adirondack Park of Northern New York is rocked by a violent murder along with the terrifying possibility of a serial killer in Saranac Lake, Tyler Cunningham is the first person the police turn to ... both as suspect and investigator. Unused to working within the layered investigations of the police and FBI, Tyler will have to find a way to solve the mystery, placate the bureaucrats, and still find a way to serve up his own particular brand of justice to the killer. The fourth novel in the series is the most complex, suspenseful, and terrifying yet. Fans of Carl Hiaasen, Lawrence Block, and John Sandford will enjoy this look into a killer's mind.

About the author
Jamie Sheffield
21 books43 followersNEWS: Jamie won the 2014 Adirondack Literary Award for Best Novel of 2013 with "Here Be Monsters"!
Jamie Sheffield lives with his wife, son, two dogs, and seven tortoises in a pretty spot in the woods of New Hampshire, writing about the people and places and things that poke him in the brain. When he's not writing, he's probably camping or exploring wild places all over the Northeast.
Besides writing, Jamie loves cooking and reading and dogs and numerous outdoor pursuits that his friends and family classify variously as dangerous, foolish, nerdy, stupid, and likely to get the attention of Homeland Security.
He worked as a Special Education teacher in the Lake Placid Central School District for nearly 20 years before deciding to try his hand at writing just about full-time (he still works with students some of the time).
Here Be Monsters was his debut novel, in 2013. In the years since this best-selling and award-winning novel was published, he's published four more books in that series as well as numerous other books in print and ebook formats.
Most recently, Jamie published a pair of collections of short fiction and, in July of 2021, his first children's book, Chili, the Grumpy Tortoise.

Another great read!
I have read all of the Tyler Cunningham novels/novellas and author Jamie Sheffield never fails to write great stories. Thunderstruck is a great read and I highly recommend it.

Entertaining read about Tyler on the hunt for a serial killer. As always, the author expertly wrote his character's uniqueness in believable prose.

Another triumph
It's always interesting when the tiny Tyler that lives in the back of my brain gets a chance to interact with the big Tyler Cunningham who comes alive through the author's words. Having lived and explored much of the wilderness and the towns of the Adirondacks each of the stories in the series invokes pleasant memories. None more so than this one.
