  Then he starts to wonder if maybe the dogs know more about him and Sindra, and if maybe they’re angry with him.

  Murder, Madness, & Love, Yolanda Renèe

  (http://bit.ly/1LChCaG)

  Arctic winds gather snowflakes on a frosty window ledge as a statuesque form appears. She moves past a table littered with papers. Headlines splash news of murder, but it’s the photo of another young woman with features mirroring her own that draws her attention.

  A different headline peeks from underneath the Anchorage Times.

  Wealthy Businessman Dies in Car Crash … BLACK WIDOW SUSPECTED!

  Graphic images swirl through her head and a tear rolls down her cheek. She drifts toward an easel and a trembling hand dips a sable brush into a palette of paint.

  The Westminster doorbell chimes. The brush slips and blood-red paint stains the floor.

  Detective Steven Quaid waits. His Tlingit, Indian features carved from granite, mask his Irish passion …

  Will he arrest her this time?

  All fingers point to her guilt.

  But, is she guilty of this cunning plot? Or just a victim of circumstantial evidence?

  The door opens …

  His eyes lock on hers …

  His heart races …

  Hers skips a beat.

  Hidden within the deep woods of rural Alabama, along the forgotten southern course of the Black Warrior River, lies an unseen world feared for centuries by the residents of the tiny town of Carlsdale. Only one person has ever survived a visit to this place long enough to tell about it. His name isJack Kenney.

  Thirteen years old at the time of the event, Jack and his family were forced to flee Carlsdale and head north to the larger city of Tuscaloosa. The menace from their former home left them in peace for nearly eight years. But after the brutal murder of a noted archaeologist and teacher at the University of Alabama, everything changed. Within days of his death, Jack and his older brother, Jeremy, are abducted by the FBI and held against their will in a secret holding facility near Manassas, Virginia.

  Frustrated by the brothers’ seeming refusal to cooperate, the agency’s interrogations become increasingly violent, until Jack gains a welcome reprieve when the arrival of Special Agent Peter McNamee. He befriends Jack and gains his trust, drawing upon a similar supernatural event from his own youth. Willing, finally, to talk after years of silence, Jack leads Peter on an extraordinary roller coaster ride involving a mystical and deadly realm located in America’s Deep South…
