Synopsis

For fans of Kristin Hannah, Lisa Gardner, and Elin Hilderbrand — Nick is missing. The Caribbean doesn't give up its secrets easily. Neither does Katie.

Nick Kovacs flew a woman and her child out of the U.S. Virgin Islands as a favor. He did not return. His plane was sabotaged somewhere over the Caribbean, and by the time Katie finds out — through three days of unanswered texts and a missing persons report the local detective won't file — she's already certain he's alive. She just can't prove it. And she can't find him.

The investigation takes Katie from St. Marcos to the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico, trailed by cartel watchers, an obstructive detective on the Petro-Mex payroll, and the growing suspicion that the people who sabotaged Nick's plane are also planning a terrorist attack on the island's oil refinery. She's a private investigator with no jurisdiction, a husband she hasn't been married to long enough, and a message that keeps appearing in her dreams: hurry.

Nick is communicating with her somehow — through dreams, through the house spirit Annalise, through a water-damaged photograph that turns out to be a map. Whether you believe that or not, Katie believes it. And she's been right about this island before.

Finding Harmony is the third novel in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' Katie Connell series — a rescue thriller that moves across three two countries and three islands and never loses sight of the love story at its center. Rich with Caribbean detail from an author who lived and breathed these islands, and unlike anything else in the genre.

Her husband was missing somewhere in the Caribbean. The island told her where to look.

Praise from readers:

“Unputdownable.”
“Clear your calendar—you won’t be able to stop.”
“Hutchins is a master of tension.”
“Captivating mystery with heartfelt romance.”
“Everything shines—the plot, the characters, the writing.”

From the ABNA 2014 Contest: "Finding Harmony" was an excerpt I was not excited to read, but found myself rapidly changing my mind. The author created appealing characters who displayed just enough sass to remove them from the realm of perfect romance characters. This seems to be more of an adventure/crime/supernatural novel than a romance." – Vine Reviewer

From the ABNA 2014 Contest: "It's a rare excerpt -- one where a clever idea is supported by a clear, witty and distinct voice, a clear sense of a narrative arc. I couldn't help laughing out loud when I got to "“There’s a dead pig on the table, a dead guy in the driveway, and a legion of dead people dem ready to swim up through our cisterns into the house." Seriously, in what way is this not going to be a fun read, in plot, character and narrative voice??? The sense of setting also works. Although the occasionally clunky descriptive passages detracted from this, the encounters with the Pig Man and Dan-Dan won me over, in part precisely because they aren't stereotypes. Here's the reason I rated this so highly: by the time I finished the excerpt, I was convinced I knew which Caribbean island this was set on, and where the house is, and where the Pig Man is. I still am. Really." – Vine Reviewer

"Katie is the first character I have absolutely fallen in love with since Stephanie Plum!" - Stephanie Swindell, bookstore owner

"Engaging storyline...taut suspense, with a touch of the jumbie adding a distinct flavor to the mix and the romance perfectly kept on the backburner while dealing with predatory psychopaths." - MBR Bookwatch
