Vineyard Stalker by Philip R. Craig raises the stakes with a mystery that strikes at the heart of J.W. Jackson’s family life.
What begins as a string of minor annoyances escalates into deliberate threats that cannot be ignored. The island, usually a haven of beauty and calm, becomes a maze of suspicion as J.W. tries to identify who is watching, planning, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Balancing family moments, island culture, coastal charm, and escalating tension, Craig delivers a satisfying blend of warmth and suspense. Whether on the beach, at home with Zee and the kids, or navigating the intricate relationships of island residents, J.W. stays one step ahead of danger—until the final confrontation forces a showdown he can’t avoid.
