In the small, coastal towns of the Florida Panhandle, there are no six degrees of separation; they’re lucky to stretch it to three. Everyone knows everybody, and the loss of any one person is felt by all. 

But what happens when a beloved law enforcement officer is shot down, and the shooter is a terrified young man, barely more than a child?

Lt. Maggie Hamilton is devastated when a good friend and fellow officer is shot while trying to keep a bullied high-schooler from making a terrible mistake. Soon after, videos of the event become viral, fanning the flames.


Now both the young man and the bully who victimized him go missing. It suddenly becomes clear that the two boys disappeared together. Who is the aggressor now, and who is most at-risk? As the situation begins to unfold both online and in the real world, everyone is faced with the ramifications of bullying, and with the part that social media plays in making bad situations worse and turning private hells into public tragedies.

This is the ninth book in the bestselling Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense series, known for its rich coastal atmosphere, authentically-textured characters and dry humor.

Another great book from Dawn Lee McKenna about the Florida area I love so much.
5 Stars
Another great book from Dawn Lee McKenna about the Florida area I love so much.
I have loved all 8 of the Forgotten Coast books. I get so involved that I can't put the book down until I know what happens. Squall Line is no different and I have always loved her characters and especially Dwight. If you haven't read this series of books, you really need to read them all, beginning with number 1. I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maggie is definitely one of the most rewarding characters I have ever read. She and Wyatt make an ideal couple and the are always prepared for the worst case scenario. This series improves with each new episode and the excitement never ceases.

Another outstanding five stars episode of an exceptionally well defined group of characters and, as always, the greatest storylines I have had the opportunity to follow. Ms. McKenna does an excellent job with her descriptive episodes throughout the entire story.

I am basically a reader of western adventures, but this series is unsurpassed in quality and the author does an outstanding job with her very heartwarming stories. I have been very impressed with the her apparent knowledge and research that produces more than enough interesting episodes throughout the entire story.

I am definitely looking forward to the next thrilling release of Maggie and Wyatt's ongoing adventures and entertaining escapades of small town law enforcement. The author definitely impresses me with her descriptive episodes and thrilling drama that never ceases to amaze me.

I, most certainly, recommend this series to all readers loving another great masterpiece of love, friendship and never ending adventures of super heroes in small town law enforcement. This series improves with each new episode and the excitement never ceases throughout the entire process. If you fail to follow Maggie and Wyatt, it will be the greatest loss of entertainment you will ever miss!😂

A really good series and relevant to today. There are a great group of main characters who are very believable, have real life problems and triumphs. The plots are always interesting. It would be best to start from the beginning of the series to have a better understanding of all the characters and their dynamics.

Superb, powerful message, captivating, with the cast of characters all in it. The daughter is following in her mother’s footsteps. With Wyatt and Maggie married, Sky has matured, and ready for college. The mark of bullies, harassment, and steps not taken to stop before it escalated with a gun being taken to school. Her speech was great about those, and going back to the basic. Looking for the next Story of how things will change in their household.

Amazing writing, riveting plot. I'm embarrassed that I avoided this author because she was a woman. So many stories will remain untold. Rest in peace, Dawn Lee.
As she mentioned, writing about real places make the story come alive. There is one tropical author who has fictitious locations and because of that it is impossible to relate. I am a Floridian, know all these locations well, and can become very involved in the book. It makes it real to me. Now, if I was reading a series about a location in the Midwest or any other place than Florida, I guess it wouldn't matter to me. It will leave an unfinished place in my mind when I finish all of her works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone needs to read this book, if only for the last chapter!
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018

I have been a fan of this series since the very beginning, and always enjoy finding out what is going on in the lives of the characters. This book may be the best one yet, mostly due to the main focus on bullying and the dire consequences that can result.

I am an educator and have seen firsthand how devastating bullying can be. I think that Ms.McKenna handled this in a realistic and compassionate way. I think that everyone from middle school age and up should be able to read the compelling speech Sky gives in the last chapter! She states the problem succinctly, and gives positive suggestions to her classmates, as well as to all of the adults at her graduation. I can't wait to see the go I'd things Sky will do in future books in this series.

My only complaint is the lack of action taken by the high school principal when the bullying was reported to her. I certainly understand the beauracracy in education, but I find it hard to believe that no action at all would be taken because there were never adult witnesses. I applaud the author for including the positive character of the chemistry teacher who did what he could to provide a safe place for the young target, and to give him an adult to whom he could turn. Fortunately, this character is true to most of the elementary through high school teachers with whom I have worked throughout my career.

Congratulations on a timely and well-written book!

Powerful and Depressing

This stand-alone is easy to follow. It is difficult to read at times due to emotions evoked. Editing errors but no gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

This realistic storyline focuses on bullying and social media. It is depressing and the reader understands Ryan's sense of hopelessness and the futility of trying to protect himself.

Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking and memorable dialogue.

“We are the generation who can turn bullies into outcasts
and the bullied into victors. We are the generation who can make it cool to stand up for others and shameful to tear them down. We are the ones who can put the internet back into its rightful place, and start living in and experiencing the real world again. A world that is safer, more exciting, and more uplifting than it was when we woke up this morning.”

I may re-read this story. I hope a future book will show Ryan's life has improved and three bullies have reaped what they sowed. I always look forward to works by this author.

This story is so relevant to life as it is today. If every teenager, every parent, every child could grasp the message in this story, they could literally change the world. Read it, tell your friends, your kids, your family to read this.This is a non religious, non preachy novel about the change we need to see.

I love these books. The characters feel real and the story lines are excellent. Having read the whole series I’m looking forward to the next one. I suppose you ask if I liked them so much why only 4 stars. There was lots of misspelled words and incorrect sentences in this one. It made you pause and work out what was supposed to be there. This for me spoiled my enjoyment. Spell check may not have picked them as some were just correct words which shouldn’t have been there. Please don’t let this stop you reading this book as it was really really good
