One by one, the bodies of the police officers are found, brutally executed with mysteriously coded death cards placed by every corpse. And the only sound louder than the doors of Loon Lake, Michigan being locked against evil is the sound of hearts beating in terror. When Louis Kincaid joins the small force and starts investigating, he doesn't realize that the truth--and the killer--is closer at hand than anyone can know.
The placid town of Sereno Key is being rocked by a serial killer who is targeting black men, leaving his victims marked with black paint. When police zero in on a suspect, his wife hires Louis to help clear him. Lured from Michigan to work as a PI by his ex-boss, Louis joins forces with a novice FBI profiler, Emily Farrantino, and they quickly discover these are no ordinary hate crimes and that Sereno Key is only the latest stop on a psychopath's road tour from hell.
In the wake of a hurricane, a tiny skull washes up on the beach in front of Louis's cottage. Days later, the bullet-riddled body of a woman surfaces in the mangroves. She has no ID--except for an odd ring carved of coral. Sensing a connection, Louis begins his investigation, a search for the truth that will lead him down a trail of secrets and lies--to the Island of Bones, where treachery never dies and the living never escape.
A deep freeze is bearing down on the Florida Everglades, the kind of brutal storm the locals call a killing rain. For Detective Louis Kincaid, the coldest night of the year has brought a terrifying new chill--a grisly discovery that tightens his every nerve in warning. The body proves this is no routine case. It's the start of a nightmare. And when the killer chooses his next victim, there's no doubt the detective is matching wits with a predator who is as ruthless as they come. Now, with time running out, Kincaid is on a desperate hunt of his own, tracking a twisted adversary one step away from committing the ultimate horror.

I write because the struggles of immigration grieve me in a personal way, a way that for a long time divided my family to near disrepair. Despite this, I believe my very conservative Christian, Indian parents attempted to understand why this American-born Indian girl had to do things a bit differently than what they had planned. And what I wanted was exactly the opposite of what had been customary for thousands of years. I, a female, wanted to make my own life choices.Often, the shame related to making independent, very "American" decisions has led to heartbreaking consequences in some families and particularly for females. These endings are often preceded by children of immigrants desiring to adapt to American society while balancing Indian roots. These endings are also preceded by parents quickly becoming disillusioned as they begin to see the land of milk and honey for what it really is. Sometimes, it doesn't receive families with open arms or flowing vats of opportunity. It is a place that takes far more than it can ever offer - hopes, time, a longing for family back home, culture and many, many tears. But above all things, it wants their children the most.
Wissahickon Souls fills a gap in American memory that marginalizes 19th-century African-American lives. Set in Philadelphia and Haiti during the years 1806 to 1836, Wissahickon Souls shows how a culture of racial prejudice contaminates the relationships of even well-meaning people. All the while, the Wissahickon Creek wends its way through the lives of blacks and whites. Claire Penniman is an improbable hero who defies racial expectations. Born to free black parents, she is indentured to Wissahickon Farm at the age of 6. From her birth in 1806 in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia to the story's end in 1836, Clair struggles to forge a future determined by the call of her soul rather than the color of her skin. Along the way, she confronts slave catchers, helps fugitive slaves, marries her indenture holder's youngest son and with him, runs away to Haiti, where their two children are born. After 10 years, in 1834 they return to a Philadelphia beset by riots and hate. Wissahickon Souls is a story of forbidden love, regret, and reconciliation. Devlin invites readers to walk with characters they come to know as friends. Though Claire's world defines people by the color of their skin, Claire's destiny is to bear witness to the truth that illuminates the color of souls.
The outskirts of Philadelphia form the backdrop for this collection of captivating stories. A master crafter, Devlin weaves threads of emotions into patches of betrayal, regret, and guilt, stitched together in the fabric of dreams. These stories resonate with the power of recognition and remembrance. Devlin's characters may slip as they maneuver life's torments, but their journeys through the unmapped terrains of their lives ultimately lead them to the refuge of acceptance and reconciliation.
