Each death looked like an accident, but Sheriff Malachi
"Mal" Gordon strongly suspects something else is going
on. Clarity hasn't had an accidental death in almost
fifteen years but is now averaging one per week, a
statistic that convinces Mal to get assistance from the
FBI. Noah
Bishop's Special Crimes Unit (SCU) has rightly
earned their reputation for handling "weird" cases and so
Hollis Templeton and her SCU partner, Reese DeMarco, are
called in to investigate what is going on in the town of
Clarity. Can the team uncover what is happening in
Clarity before one of them becomes the next "accident"
victim?
WAIT FOR DARK is the seventeenth book in Kay Hooper's
long-running Bishop/Special
Crimes Unit (SCU). One of
the things I love about Kay Hooper's series is that you
can jump into the series at any point and instantly fall
in love with the characters and structure of the SCU
team. We get to meet different agents throughout the
series while maintaining a sense of unity of the team at
the same time. For readers new to the series, a helpful
list of all the agents and their various abilities, as
well as past book appearances, is provided as an appendix
at the end of WAIT FOR DARK.
WAIT FOR DARK kept me on the edge of my seat, guessing as
to who the darkly villainous mastermind was. Kay Hooper
once again provides us with a villain who tests the
limits of the agents' abilities. However, it is Hollis
who is center stage in WAIT FOR DARK as we see her
growing and becoming more comfortable with who she is, as
an investigator and as a person. Readers will want to
revisit her earlier appearances in the Bishop/Special
Crimes Unit (SCU) series in order to fully appreciate
her growth as both an investigator and a medium.
WAIT FOR DARK is everything we expect from a Kay Hooper
Bishop/Special
Crimes Unit (SCU) novel. I love how
Kay Hooper expertly combines solid police work with
paranormal abilities to craft one heck of a stunning
thriller! WAIT FOR DARK grips the reader tightly from the
very first page as the horrific crimes only intensify
with each new victim. If you love dark thrillers that
delve into the paranormal, then WAIT FOR DARK is perfect
for you!
An SCU team investigates a string of accidents, only to uncover a deadly and deliberate monster in the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper. In Clarity, North Carolina, the residents have fallen victim to an unfortunate series of events. Seemingly random accidents have taken the lives of several citizens in the small mountain town. But these deadly coincidences are anything but. Something is on the hunt in Clarity, and the only clue as to what is a cryptic note given to the victims 24 hours before they meet their ends: “Wait for dark.” Sheriff Mal Gordon knows how to handle his town, but he has no idea how to handle this. Hollis Templeton and her team from the Special Crimes Unit, including her partner and lover, telepath Reese DeMarco, are called in to investigate. But while the SCU has prepared them for the unknown, the incredible evil stalking Clarity shakes the team to its core when one of their own is targeted. Now Hollis, the “cat with nine lives” finds herself facing death again. And this time, not even her partner can protect her...
