Harvest of a Wrathful Eye: An Outer Banks Crime Mystery

by Colin Beckett

From a BookWorks Featured Author comes a "...brisk and satisfying thriller." (The 2018 Booklife Prize.) A page-turning follow-up to the highly-rated debut mystery, "Family Business." In the tradition of Robert B. Parker's "Spenser" novels, Dare County Sheriff Marty Tate teams up with fellow law enforcement officers in Virginia in order to locate and apprehend a dangerous and highly intelligent criminal in this new psychological thriller. What was an open missing person's case becomes a homicide investigation when a body is discovered in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. One month later, a respected psychiatrist is killed aboard his yacht on the waters of Roanoke Island. Based upon the offender's signature, the medical examiner is able to conclude that the same killer was responsible for both homicides. With clever stealth and skill, the killer is able to elude the investigators in part due to his scrupulous planning, as well as his highly advanced knowledge and experience in cyber-crimes. By exploiting vulnerabilities in modern smartphones, the internet and social media, his prey and their surviving loved ones are caught completely unaware of his murderous behavior and motives. Sheriff Tate and his colleagues have no time to lose if they are going to figure out who and where the mysterious killer is as he plays his dangerous game of cat and mouse.
