Strange Creatures

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

When the storm of the century hits Whale Rock, Sheriff Dan Retsler does everything he can to prevent hundreds of deaths. Everything except the thing that could have prevented the storm in the first place.

He should have listened to the beautiful woman who came to his office before the storm hit. He should have believed in her magic. But he didn’t. And now he must face himself—and the horrible results of a storm he could have prevented.

Unnatural Disaster

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Whale Rock Police Chief Jaclyn Tadero faces the Oregon Coast’s version of the perfect storm: a tsunami warning during a winter squall. And thanks to Seavy County Coroner Hamilton Denne, she finds herself scouring the beach for idiots drawn to the tsunami’s approach. Tadero thinks Denne sent her on a fool’s errand—until she stumbles across something on the beach. Something that poses a far greater threat than the tsunami, the storm, or anything else the former Chicago cop has ever faced.
