Produktbeschreibung

Coincidence leads to talk and talk to speculation and speculation to rumor and rumor to belief. And belief brings the supernatural to life. There's a lot of talk about what's behind the bizarre weather on the island of Puerto Rico...

Two years ago, people breathed a sigh of relief when Detective Eddie Corredor exposed the crooked and costumed mayor of Rincón as the real monster that had been terrorizing the island with his shady business activities. But now, the natural disasters occurring in a most unnatural manner have people whispering about a supernatural beast again. Is the chupacabra real or rumor?

Señora Milagros, familiar to the dog-god of Mercy (also known as chupacabra) knows the truth, but even she has some surprises in store as a host of new beliefs bring more gods to the island. There's a beast of a storm brewing, and only a god can stop it. But which one? And will Señora Milagros sort them all out before the recent arrivals destroy the newly returned dog? If not, it's not only her retirement at stake, it's the future of mankind.

The chupacabra returns in another zany caper that started with 2014's "Ye Gods! A Tale of Dogs and Demons." This raucous island adventure weaves the myth and mystery of the chupacabra (Spanish for goatsucker) with some endearing island characters in a madcap look at science, belief, and the gray area in between. There's a beast of a storm brewing and only a god can stop it. But which one? The chupacabra returns--and this time, he's brought some friends (and an enemy or two).

BIO
Lynne Hinkey is a marine scientist by training, a writer by passion, and a curmudgeon by nature. She spent years hanging out at marina bars around the Caribbean, where she eavesdropped in on fascinating conversations that she then turned into fun stories reflecting the zaniness of island life. She lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with her husband, cat, and two dogs. Her short stories, essays, travel articles, and book reviews have appeared in a number of print and electronic publications. She is the author of three novels: Marina Melee, Ye Gods! A Tale of Dogs and Demons, and The Un-Familiar: A Tale of Cats and Gods. The latter are books 1 and 2 of her Chupacabra Trilogy. The final installment, Ye Goddess! A Tale of Girls and Gods," is in development. When not writing, Lynne is an adjunct professor of biology and an avid, but not accomplished, dog agility competitor.
