Scare Away the Dark

A savage assault. A sinister conspiracy. Can she battle PTSD and dig up the truth before a stalker sends her to an early grave?

Vancouver, BC. Investigative reporter Jordan Stone is desperate to hunt down the mobster who forced her parents into witness protection. But when she recklessly follows an anonymous tip, she's kidnapped and chained underground at the mercy of a sadist. Resigned to perish in a sea of pain, not even her fortunate discovery by the police manages to shake her dread that someone is out for her blood...

Fighting through her battered emotions and bruised body, the fiery journalist works frantically to free herself and her family from the crime boss who wants them dead. But as the clues take her across the ocean to Sicily, she can't escape the feeling she's being stalked by an ominous new threat.

Can Jordan end the looming menace, or will an assassin's blade cut her life short?

Scare Away the Dark is the second book in the harrowing A Stone Suspense mystery series. If you like international intrigue, strong-willed heroines, and heart-stopping danger, then you'll love Karen Dodd's breathtaking tale!

About the Author

Karen Dodd is the author of the Stone Suspense Series. DEADLY SWITCH, the first book in the series, came out in 2015. Book 2, SCARE AWAY THE DARK, was released in 2018 and won the Chanticleer First in Category award for suspense/thrillers.

Karen's world travels make her books' settings sing with verisimilitude and authenticity. DEADLY SWITCH is set in modern-day West Vancouver, British Columbia, flashes back to 1985 Italy, and finally, comes to its heart-pounding conclusion in Carmel, California. It has been referred to as "a delicious stay-up-all-nighter." SCARE AWAY THE DARK returns to Calabria and carries on to Sicily.
