FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BOOK COVER JACKET:
Dr. Norene Moskalski's beautifully written, ground-breaking novel opens the era of evidence-based literary thrillers: compelling scientific research fused with unforgettable characters, real world problems, heroic efforts, and unrelenting suspense.
In Nocturne, Opus 1: Sea Foam, the first novel in the Kate and Jake Connors Series, Moskalski masterfully blends the melody of a Chopin nocturne with the beauty of nature, "a saltwater pond drenched in sunrise," and harmonizes with the harsh reality of human nature, as tourists fight to flee a pandemic zone, "their faces scraping across the hot tarmac." In every scene, her readers are in the middle of the action, just inches away from each of the characters who suddenly seem as real as the neighbors next door.
Nocturne: a serenade to a beautiful woman or to a tranquil scene in nature
