Madison Wade and her newly adopted teenage son, Ethan, have
moved from the big city of Philadelphia to the quiet little
town Buckeye, Tennessee. Madison wants to remove her son
from his past life of living on the streets with constant
danger. Ethan quickly befriends the quiet and withdrawn
Jordan, acting as his protector.
Jordan and Ethan, along with two other teens, accompany
Jordan's stepfather, Steve McPherson, on a camping trip in
the mountains that turns into a nightmare. When the group
does not return as expected, Maddie and the local sheriff,
Gabriel Wyatt, start their vigilante search only to find
the terrified boys and their tale of Steve's death.
However, it soon becomes apparent it was no accident. When
the boys begin to disappear and are found dead, Maddie,
desperate to protect her son, is frantic to unscramble the
mystery of the murders.
When the townspeople point to the troubled "new kid,"
Maddie and Gabriel draw closer together. Shocking events
are revealed as Maddie is forced to fight for her own life.
PITCH BLACK is packed with mystery and terror throughout.
Susan Crandall has very cleverly wound her story
around each character without revealing the culprits.
Maddie is a wonderful, strong character, feisty and full of
surprises. Lots of suspense makes this a very difficult
book to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed PITCH BLACK and
would highly recommend it. Don't miss this one!
A journalist and who adopted a troubled teen, Madison Wade
has tackled many challenges—but never one like this.
Leaving Philadelphia for a small town to give her son a
better life, she's now in a tightly knit community that
won't accept her big-city ways and Ethan's less-than-
perfect past. When finally, he's invited on a camping trip,
it turns into a nightmare – and Ethan is suspected of a
violent crime.
Sheriff Gabe Wyatt doesn't want to believe this kid is
guilty. He’s falling in love with Ethan's beautiful,
sophisticated, and generous mother, the first woman who has
ever awakened the tender side of this tough lawman. But he
can’t ignore evidence, even if it keeps him from getting
close to the woman he longs to protect, even if it drives
this fierce mother to find the criminal herself. Then one
terrible night, the villain will find her... and Maddie
Wade will come face-to-face with her darkest fears.
