Spirit in the Rainforest
Book 9 of the Tom & Liz Austen Mysteries Series
After surviving a violent Pacific storm, Tom and Liz Austen land on Nearby Island, a rainforest shrouded in secrets. Strange events escalate quickly: the ghostly silhouette of hermit Mosquito Joe, an abandoned school deep in the woods, and a chilling nighttime warning from a girl’s voice crying, “Beware! Beware!” As the siblings investigate, they’re drawn into a mystery involving environmental conflict, local legends, and hidden dangers lurking among the towering trees. The rainforest becomes both a refuge and a threat as Tom and Liz race to uncover the truth behind the island’s haunting secrets.
