About this ebook
With over 1.15 million copies sold, Peter Clines returns with a smart and propulsive novel of action and horror.
Ben Getty is an LA cop banished to rural Maine, and now finds himself patrolling the streets and forest roads of Little Enoch. It’s an unremarkable town with a small summer tourist trade and a camp across the lake. For Ben, it’s his last chance.
However, there’s something that Ben’s new employers didn’t mention. The summer camp and its surrounding forest are the hunting grounds of a serial killer that has stalked the woods for decades, leaving a trail of bodies that stretches back to the first camp massacre fifty years ago. Only by following an ironclad list of rules that everyone in town already seems to know are the townsfolk kept safe... mostly.
But as the killings increase, Ben must choose between keeping the job he loves and discovering what really happened that night half a century ago. Between obeying orders and learning the dark secret behind the masked killer. Between protecting unsuspecting visitors from an inhuman monster and maybe becoming the latest victim himself. And perhaps most importantly...learning why everybody in town seems okay with it.
