Once a rising star in the art world, she finds refuge in her painting. The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a government research facility. And now two agents have arrived on Jacob's Ladder in search of someone-or something-they refuse to identify. Although an air of menace hangs over these men, an infinitely greater threat has arrived, one so strange even the island animals are in a state of high alarm. Katie soon finds herself in an epic and terrifying battle with a mysterious enemy. But Katie's not alone after all: a brave young girl appears out of the violent squall. As Katie and her companion struggle across a dark and eerie landscape, against them is an omnipresent terror that could bring about the end of the world  aBPL: David Winn Bishop and Isabel MacPherson Bishop Memorial Fund. 0aWomen artistsvFiction910436 0aIslandsvFiction96586 0aLaboratoriesvFiction912960 0aReclusesvFiction910454 0aConspiraciesvFiction9469 0aMass extinctionsvFiction912961 0aOccult fiction910522 0aSuspense fiction96 7aHorror fiction.2lcgft92964 7aParanormal fiction.2lcgft92963 7aDetective and mystery fiction.2lcgft9485 7aThrillers (Fiction)2lcgft9486  a.b178074020  2ddccBOOK  c28661d28661  2ddc4070aABELJbABELJcAFd2023-02-02g28.99l4oKOONp64141r2023-08-22s2023-07-21w2023-02-02yBOOK11
