For tourists, the idyllic island of St. Croix is a perfect escape from the world. For Charlie Baker, it’s a trap. He hasn’t set foot on the island since his life fell apart there ten years ago. But now his ex-wife is luring him back with the promise of a family reunion’a promise she keeps breaking.
He always knew Mira was a little crazy, but returning one last time’determined to see his children no matter what’he’s about to discover just how crazy she is. And with a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows who could be the source of the terrifying Goat Foot Woman legend, he will also learn what dark fate the island has in store for him.

The second book in the series, AFOOT ON ST. CROIX, is scheduled for 2013 release.
