Synopsis

An SCU team investigates a string of accidents, only to uncover a deadly and deliberate monster in this novel from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper. In Clarity, North Carolina, the residents have fallen victim to an unfortunate series of events. Seemingly random accidents have taken the lives of several citizens in the small mountain town. But these deadly coincidences are anything but. Something is on the hunt in Clarity, and the only clue is a cryptic note given to the victims 24 hours before they meet their ends: “Wait for dark.” Sheriff Mal Gordon knows how to handle his town, but he has no idea how to handle this. Hollis Templeton and her team from the Special Crimes Unit, including her partner and lover, telepath Reese DeMarco, are called in to investigate. But while the SCU has prepared them for the unknown, the incredible evil stalking Clarity shakes the team to its core when one of their own is targeted. Now Hollis, the “cat with nine lives,” finds herself facing death again. And this time not even her partner can protect her … “Wait for Dark grips the reader tightly from the very first page as the horrific crimes only intensify with each new victim. If you love dark thrillers that delve into the paranormal, then Wait for Dark is perfect for you!”—Fresh Fiction

Clarity, North Carolna .. a small town where nothing ever happens. At least until now. Several random accidents have brought this town to its knees. Or are they really random?

This is the 17th book from the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series and it really should be the last, though I am afraid it won't be. 2/3 of this book was awful.
