Isolation LP

As archaeologist Faye Longchamp-Mantooth struggles to recover from a personal loss, everyone is trying to reach out to her. If only she could reach back. Instead she's out digging holes all over her home, the Florida island of Joyeuse. In their old plantation home, Joe Wolf Mantooth is surrounded by family-his wife Faye; their son; and his father-yet Joe has never felt so alone. Then a close friend is brutally murdered, the first in a string of crimes against women. Joe, desperate to help Faye, realizes she is in danger from someone who has breached the island's isolation. Local law enforcement say they want to help, but to Faye and Joe they feel more like invaders. A struggling Faye reaches into her family's history for clues. And all the while, danger snakes further into their lives, threatening the people they love, their cherished home, even the very ground-some of it poisoned-beneath their feet. Mary Anna Evans is the author of Isolation, the ninth in her award-winning series of Faye Longchamp archaeological mysteries. Her work has won the Benjamin Franklin Award, the Mississippi Author Award, and three Florida Book Awards. www.maryannaevans.com
