About this ebook
Destruction Island, an isolated island with an abandoned lighthouse off the coast of Washington State, has a tragic history and has held its secret for over a hundred years only for the secret to be discovered and then lost for another hundred years. Finally a clue to its mystery is found in the logs kept by the first lighthouse keeper. Earl Armstrong, a descendent of the keeper, becomes curious about what happened on the island after a series of vivid dreams in which his great-grandfather’s spirit asks for his help and before long, Earl is entangled in the island’s past and present. He discovers the body of a Native American man who apparently was murdered on the island. As forces beyond his control begin to bear down on him, and with the help of the dead man’s brother and an Indian shaman, Earl sets out to discover the secret his great-grandfather chose not to reveal. But Earl has a knack for getting himself into trouble and the billionaire Juno Betar, a ruthless collector of antiquities, is already engaged in trying to find a rare ceremonial artifact, a golden Kwakiutl sun mask, hidden in a cave not far from the base of the lighthouse. Juno Betar will let nothing stand in his way, even murder, to add the mask to his private collection. There are complications for both Earl Armstrong and Juno Betar as they have to contend with a tough adversary, Norika Edo, who is trying to avoid a cruel death at the hands of Japanese Mafia, by recovering a valuable treasure adrift in a monstrous mat of tsunami debris about to become a huge catastrophe for the beaches of the Pacific Northwest Coast and Destruction Island. With vivid, almost cinematic settings, this exciting adventure will hold the reader’s interest page after page.
