Jade went to Haiti as part of a relief team after a
devastating earthquake shook the small country. When she
returned from the horrible scene, her own life fell apart. A
year later, another team is required to sift through the
massive burial plot to find the remains of an American
family and bring them back to the United States. Jade
ultimately returns to Haiti to face her fears and becomes
entangled in a situation more sinister and deadly than she
could ever imagine.
The locals react unfavorably to the team opening the
makeshift tomb. Superstition and prophecy build the
suspense, and the plot further deepens when a corpse is
uncovered with a manacle attached at the ankle. Now Jade and
her team must find out what really happened to some of the
deceased.
A mystery peppered with a timid romance, and a steamy sex
scene, Dale Mayer spins a complex tale that you won't be
able to put down. With a number of separate plots going on
simultaneously, TOUCHED BY DEATH has no trouble keeping the
reader's attention. Mayer is able to successfully intertwine
the plots to bring the book to a satisfying, albeit
surprising, conclusion. As usual, her dialogue is brilliant,
and Jade and her love interest, Dane, make a great couple.
Add in the possibility of a serial killer on top of the
number of bodies, and you have a captivating tale from a
wonderful storyteller. Ms. Mayer does not disappoint with
TOUCHED BY DEATH.
Predators know instinctively a good thing when they see
it – whether that is their next victim, or the solution to
their current problem. So when an earthquake rips through
Haiti, and this killer’s dumping ground is exposed to the
world, he has to find another place to hide the grizzly
remains of his victims. But just as the earthquake caused
a problem, it also provided a solution in the form of
quick mass burials for the dead. Thinking he’s free and
clear, he can’t help but notice that the chaos of the
times has also provided him with a whole new feeding
ground.
Until a mortuary team arrives to help identify those
killed in the natural disaster – and find more than they’d
bargained for.
