Shadow Coast

Summary
Barely surviving a spectacular yachting accident, Mark Sayres finds himself in a remote area of the Olympic Peninsula coast in Washington State. He has come to look for his wife, Maggie, who has been troubled by a disturbing discovery at the archaeological site where she is working. After recovering at the home of Sandra Torrel, whose mysterious husband bears a disturbing family secret, Mark learns of a succession of terrifying events in the little town of Neah Bay that seem connected with the nearby excavation. Why are archaeologists Paul Radwick and Ken Matsamura so secretive about what may have been unearthed? Can their discovery have something to do with an appalling incident of nearly a century ago that has begun to haunt the present? In this chilling novel, Philip Haldeman evokes the rugged seacoast, eerie rainforests, small-town confines, and human interrelationships of a remote corner of the Pacific Northwest, all within a ghostly tale of horror that not only brings to mind the best work of H.P. Lovecraft and Algernon Blackwood, but whose themes of love, loyalty, and conflict will satisfy a wide variety of readers.
