It's like he had rearranged their atoms, blended and melted them together. It was around seven or eight feet tall. Flesh, melted and fused, arms and legs and screaming mouths and wide open eyes, all as one. Skin stretched and distorted, veins and intestines interwoven across the surface like twine over a ball. It was the enemy. It was a horror of meat and tissue. And then one of the eyes blinked and all I remember was rushing for the exit, falling to my knees outside, retching into the dirt, gasping for air." -Men of Tomorrow, Jack Lothian "But you don't really know what I am talking about, do you? Well, if you had asked Beth, she probably would have regaled you with all the details, beginning to end. 'Cause she followed it, you know? She didn't work, choosing to stay home with Biya till she started first grade. So Beth followed it night and day while it was happening until-- Well. She followed it. I wish I had followed it. I keep going over it in my head now, wondering if I had taken it more seriously at the beginning, if I had seen how quickly it was becoming scary, how I might have decided to get my family out of the city. I heard some people did that. I heard a lot of people say they were going as far as Canada." -To Market, To Market, J.C. Raye "His hand wrapped around my ankle, and he yanked me backward.

"This is a strong read, that would be easily enjoyed by readers of early James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell." - 
 Darren B., GoodReads Review\n"Let me put it this way - was at 57% when I started reading this afternoon and I finished it. I had to find out who did it." 
- Kathy H., GoodReads Review\n"I was hooked from the start, a mystery that keeps you guessing and just when you think you have it all figured out, you are wrong!" 
- Haley M., GoodReads Review\nReview \n"How delicious. A who-dunnit set on Myrtle Beach, a cozy mystery full of twists that will carry you through the Grand Strand as if you were there on vacation. A true "beach read" full of fun." 
- C. Hope Clark, author of the award-winning Edisto Island Mysteries. chopeclark.com \n"(I) strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery in the vein of Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers." - 
Jessica C. Joiner, author of the Dare & JT Crime Dramas and the Scott McCully Espionage Adventures\nOne can almost smell the salt air in the opening pages. This charming read has a protagonist you want to see again, locations you hope to visit, and a conclusion that took me completely by surprise. Sprinkled throughout the pages are incidental bits of goofy good humor and interesting minor characters clearly drawn from the people who populate beach areas. They are familiar, they are funny, and they won't give you nightmares. 
- Lisa Brewer, Foothills Digest (Issue XV)\n"This book has it all—Myrtle Beach, mystery, and... murder? 
A must-read for Myrtle Beach locals and mystery lovers alike! We'll be keeping our eyes out for the next installment!" - Grand Strand Magazine, August 2021
