Nightmare in the Everglades

About the Book

A THRILLER

a DREAM of a day
in the Florida Panhandle
turned into
a NIGHTMARE of weeks
in the Florida Everglades!
When Kate Chandler headed to town with her little boy, the skies were blue, and the sun was
shining.
Why, then, did Kate waken the following morning, to fi nd herself locked in a derelict cabin
on an island in the Everglades?
Who had brought her here?
What did he want with her?
Where was he now?
Where was her son Davey?
Th is was no eccentric millionaire’s exotic hide-away, complete with closets of clothes and racks
of fi ne wine. No, this was some psycho’s ramshackle shanty, complete with rickety furniture
and a dirty old coffi n.
Can Kate escape the cabin and the island before her captor returns?
An illustrator of children’s books, as well as a loving wife and a gentle mother, is she capable of
killing the mystery man when he does return?
Can she contend with mosquitoes, snakes, spiders, and even an elusive Florida panther?
It’s no wonder Kate feels like Alice who has fallen down the rabbit hole.
Desperate to see her family again, she learns a great deal about herself and her capabilities.
