    About this ebook

    When suspense author Rob Peters returns to a mountain cabin retreat for inspiration he accidentally hits a dog with his car.

    After being tormented by scratching and growling outside his cabin at night, and the feeling that something is stalking him by day, Rob is convinced that the dog has returned from the dead for vengeance.

    Is it just paranoia or is there truly something to fear?

      Chapter One

      Rob Peters’ condo in Metro-Atlanta was a dot in his rearview as he set out along Highway 19 to Highway 129 toward the base of the Appalachian Trail to Blairsville, Georgia.

      The three hour drive gave Rob time to reflect on the circumstances that had sparked him to impetuously toss a small travel bag and his laptop into the back seat of his White late model Grand Am and head back to the familiar North Georgia Mountains.

      The fact that his literary agent had recently implied that his best work was behind him aggravated Rob. And to add insult to injury his agent’s new prize client was Dexter Long. Rob knew that Dexter was the hottest new suspense writer to come along since… well, since Rob Peters.

      It was true that Rob’s last six suspense thrillers were a lot less thrilling than his first six. It was also quite possible that if his current work in progress followed this pattern it just may stall his career indefinitely. He knew he let himself slip too far off the top of the heap, and just beneath his own self-loathing was jealousy toward the young, successful Dexter Long.

      Rob had read Dexter’s work and was impressed. Dexter had written only two highly acclaimed thrillers, and the protagonist was the same in each — Nikki Hale, a female crime scene investigator who psychically pieced together the clues of a case to solve the crime. Each of Dexter’s novels was loosely based upon actual events. His recent bestseller concerned a string of church burnings in a major southern city; custom made for a movie of the week with the
