“Book Descriptions:Amanda Doucette is determined to find the connection between a reclusive artist and the wealthy surfer who turned up dead on the beach of remote island in Vancouver Island’s Pacific Rim.
While exploring the rugged landscape of Vancouver Island’s Pacific coast, Amanda Doucette is drawn to a reclusive old artist known only as Luke, who lives off the grid on a remote island. She senses a traumatic secret from his past in his vivid paintings, bringing to mind her own struggles with PTSD, and they begin to bond.
But when the body of a surfer washes up on the beach, Luke flees deep into the interior. What is the connection between the victim and Luke, and what does it have to do with Vietnam and a hippie commune from fifty years ago? Fearing Luke might do something desperate, Amanda searches for answers and races to find him before the police or the victim’s family get to him first.” DRIVE
