Dark Divide - (Broken Jade) by J L Hughes (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

IN A WILDERNESS WHERE PREDATORS LIE IN WAIT, EVEN THE STRONGEST HUNTER CAN BECOME PREY.

When twelve women vanish without a trace beyond the treacherous borders of The Divide, NYPD homicide detective Jade Carmichael must brave the deadly and forbidden terrain on the outskirts of Shadow Hook. Among the missing is a fellow homicide detective's fiancée...a friend Jade vows to bring home.

Wounded but relentless after her last case, Jade teams up with Drex Lafine, a lethal FBI operative whose combatant past may be their greatest weapon-or their undoing. Together, they track a predator known only as The Occultus, a calculating abductor who leaves nothing behind but blood, tarot cards, and the crushing weight of time running out.

As Jade plunges deeper into a hidden labyrinth carved beneath the Divide's merciless wilderness, alliances fracture as haunting enemies resurface. With her trusted homicide team-Kane, Jackson, Amy, and Captain Grey-fighting from the fringes of the law, Jade must outwit not only nature's wrath, but a killer who thrives in darkness.

Every clue tightens the noose around a horrifying secret, and every step brings Jade closer to a gut-wrenching choice: betray her oath-or sacrifice lives to a nightmare too vast to contain. Will she emerge from the Divide with the lost-or be swallowed whole by its shadows?

Dark Divide, the heart-pounding second installment in the Broken Jade series, weaves psychological suspense, survivalist grit, and explosive twists into an unforgettable race against death. Perfect for fans of James Patterson's Alex Cross, with riveting untamed threats reminiscent of the hit movie The Edge, this thriller is a dark descent into a savage subterranean leaving you breathless and begging for more.
