Carnal Instinct

Trapped... on the east side of Tampa Bay, Rockport sits quietly in the shadows of its sister bay area cities. That was before the Shadow Stalker came to town. Now despite efforts of the authorities to keep the stalker's existence buried, no one in town feels safe to be alone in the dark. Only one man can stand in the stalker's way, a man who himself is a suspect. Shaken... by the death of his girlfriend six months earlier, Michael Hawke is haunted by depression and nightmares that threaten to destroy his sanity. When a young prostitute is found dead in the woods outside of town, Michael links the body to a string of gruesome murders that hit a little too close to home. Desperate... Michael's only hope to pull himself from the edge of disaster is a hunt for justice. His broken world is turned upside down when he allows himself to fall into the bed of his beautiful psychologist, a woman who knows the deepest, darkest depths of his soul. He is soon tangled in a web of sex, lies, and murder, chasing a psychotic killer who leaves no clues. The only chance Michael has to catch the Shadow Stalker is to look deep inside the darkness of his own nightmares.
