Description
The newest haunting mystery from the beloved author of The Gates of Evangeline, featuring Charlie Cates, a headstrong heroine who must confront her unwanted supernatural gift and bring dark secrets to light if she ever wants to leave the Big Island . . .
Journalist Charlie Cates has always believed in facts, in what can be proved—her career depends on it. Which is why she has never truly accepted the supernatural visions that guide her to children in danger. After her work on a high-profile missing-child case brings unwanted fame, she reluctantly flees to the lush Big Island of Hawaii with her best friend, Rae. Determined to avoid her disturbing visions, Charlie begins writing what seems to be a harmless interview of a prominent volcanologist, Victor Nakagawa. But her hopes for a peaceful vacation are soon dashed by haunting dreams of a local girl who went missing six weeks earlier.
In the small and sleepy town of Kalo Valley, Charlie and Rae come to realize that even paradise has its ugly secrets, and the Nakagawa family is no exception. In order to find the missing teenager and stop a dangerous predator from striking again, Charlie is forced to embrace the gift she has always tried to conceal. Meanwhile, someone is watching her every move, and the closer Charlie gets to the truth, the more distant her chances of ever leaving the island alive.
With a deliciously eerie and fast-paced story told in vivid prose, all with an overlay of supernatural suspense, The Burning Island is a pulse-pounding mystery perfect for fans of Jennifer McMahon and Kate Atkinson.

        October 22, 2018
        Thriller Award finalist Young’s haunted third thriller featuring Charlotte “Charlie” Cates (after 2017’s The Shimmering Road) finds the freelance journalist reeling from the media frenzy following her partner’s unwelcome disclosure that clues from dreams are what helped her rescue a missing child—the most recent of several. Charlie can’t wait to ditch the news vans outside their home in Tucson, Ariz., for a working Hawaiian getaway. But once in the Big Island’s remote Kalo Valley, she discovers that she’s only swapped one firestorm for another when she learns that the subject her sly, publicity conscious editor has suggested she profile, Dr. Victor Nakagawa, is not only a prominent volcanologist and triathlete but also the father of 16-year-old Lise, who disappeared six weeks earlier. And though most members of the family seem convinced the popular but rebellious teen simply ran away, Charlie’s alarming dreams scream otherwise. What she doesn’t see coming—until it may be too late—is the danger to herself. Brace for a hair-raising cliff dive into waters dark and deep. Agent: Esmond Harmsworth, Zachary Shuster Harmsworth.
