Is there anything more unsettling than the inability to trust your own senses? Dwayne Morrow is about to find out… Recent events in West Virginia have left Dwayne in a fragile state of mind. His recollections of those final hours are blurry at best, and while he knows what he wants to believe, he’s bound by a promise not to investigate any further. Despite the patience and support from friends and family, he finds himself hobbled by despair, unable to fully confide in anyone. When Boggs Investigations is invited to join a trial mystery weekend on a private island in Lake Erie, Dwayne is pressured by his boss to rejoin the living and participate in what is supposed to be an exercise in teamwork. But the island has a haunted history, and for Dwayne, the line quickly blurs between what is real and what isn’t. Time is running out, and Dwayne must decide whether the real danger is to his friends or to his own sanity. Isolation is the fifth heart-stopping adventure in the Dwayne Morrow Mystery series.

The nonsensical layout of players makes it difficult to decide who can be trusted to be at their side and who should be voted off the island..." ⎯Katie Mettner, author of the Harlequin Intrigue Secure One series "As always, I was entertained throughout. There's just something about Dwayne Morrow that makes him relatable. He's far from perfect, stumbles upon a lot of his good luck (not to mention some of the bad), and the way he speaks to the reader as if he's sharing his thoughts with you as he experiences them is just refreshing and fun." —Charly Cox, International Best-Selling Author of the Detective Alyssa Wyatt series " Isolation is a brilliantly written mystery by Darin Miller. Few books have the power to keep you hanging on every word, but the author proved he excels. From humor to drama, this novel has it all. The title character, Dwayne Morrow, is a great character. With his comical and sarcastic inner monologue, I wished to meet this person in real life. I can't wait to read the other books in the series." —Antoinette Wessels, Readers' Favorite
