An ancient evil has been summoned...

John Decker left Wolf Haven, Louisiana, to escape the memories of his troubled past, believing he would never return. But after twenty years working for a big-city police department, he suddenly finds himself back in Wolf Haven, taking the reins as the town's sheriff. Expecting to spend his time dealing with the trivialities of small-town life, the occasional drunk, cats stuck in trees, and domestic altercations, he instead finds a vicious killer picking off the residents one by one. Scrambling to find answers before anyone else dies, Decker stumbles across an age-old superstition, a terrifying creature conjured from the depths of hell to seek revenge.

If you are a fan of James Rollins, Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child, Steve Alten, Graham Masterton, and Michael Crichton, you will love the John Decker series.

What Readers are Saying

¿¿¿¿¿ This was an amazing book, it had something of everything. Romance, suspense, and horror. I loved that the book was written from quite a few people's perspectives as you got to follow the story a lot better. I could not put it down and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good, but easy read. It flowed beautifully and kept me up till late hours of the night. I'm just sad it done, but can't wait for number 2. - Corine, Goodreads Review

¿¿¿¿¿ Strong really delivers in all the key points in this horror novel. The characters are likable, the creature is wicked, the plot is action-packed and the storyline delivers plenty of suspense. I'm definitely picking up the other two books in the series. This is exactly the type of book that hooked me into this genre, to begin with. That being said, thank you Anthony Strong for providing me a few serious hours of entertainment?! - Paula Sahraoui, Amazon review

¿¿¿¿¿ Well-written, more literate than most books in this genre. A spooky atmosphere, a bit of horror laced with mystery, and decently developed characters make this book worth the read. I've already ordered the two sequels. Those who enjoy the creepy paranormal should keep an eye on this author; nothing "cozy" about his style! - Kindle Customer, Amazon review

¿¿¿¿¿ Loved the gritty characters and wild plot. The sheriff is a new type of hero and more realistic than the general law enforcement official. The other characters are interwoven into a rollercoaster plot. - Kindle Customer, Amazon review

¿¿¿¿¿ This is a really good read from start to finish, if you like a bit of horror combined with an interesting historical legend and a bit of mystery then this is the book for you. - god001, Amazon review

¿¿¿¿¿ An exciting and fast-paced read! In the best traditions of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Bentley Little et al, Anthony M Strong has delivered a rollicking read where alongside a well-told, thrilling story, you get fine characterization which makes you care about the people populating this tale! I would heartily recommend it - I am looking forward to reading more of his work......- F Dalgleish, Amazon review
