Separation Anxiety

In this stunning follow-up to DOUBLE EXPOSURE, Michael Lister once again takes readers down the rural routes and river swamps of wild North Florida. Sixteen-year-old Shelby Emma Summers has disappeared on a late-August day from her famous artist mom's lodge on the banks of the Apalachicola River, just outside the small town of Tupelo. Out in the Gulf, a savage hurricane projected to make landfall in the Panhandle intensifies and expands. Has Shelby been abducted or is she merely skipping school? Is she with her boyfriend, Julian, and if she is, does that make her more or less safe? A fast-paced twisting and turning mystery, a harrowing hurricanic adventure. Told in prose that is poetic, evocative, and muscular, SEPARATION ANXIETY is a timeless, resonate literary thriller of heartbreak and heroism.
