From the Author
There's a serial murderer at work, but nobody knows it...
The frightening thing about THE BAD THING in my opinion is that the serial murderer, a cunning mountain man, has been at work for 20 years without being detected. His victims simply disappear from shopping malls in the heavily populated urban areas adjoining his Pennsylvania mountain hideaway. But the murderer, who operates out of an abandoned grand hotel on a mountain lake has a darker secret than that: What he does to his young female victims after he has lured them to him ensures that they will be with him forever. When a young couple buys the old hotel and the man disappears, his best friend, a professional government assassin whose life was changed when his first love disappeared in these same mountains, slowly pieces together the mystery and ends up engaging the killer in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Plenty scary. while reading THE BAD THING my New York book editor called me from her lonely weekend retreat in the Adirondacks to report that she had not slept all weekend. I loved that.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: As New. Uncorrected Page Proofs. SYNOPSIS NOT SINCE THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS HAS A SERIAL KILLER STALKED HIS PREY AND SO HAUNTED THE IMAGINATION . . . Swinging his enormous bulk out of his old truck, Johnny heads to his forest shack. Although his parents are long gone, Johnny is far from alone. He has his girls. With flawless cunning, he captured them, one by one, never leaving a trace at the bustling shopping malls. With zeal, he lectures them on the bad thing. Propped up against the clapboard walls, they listen with giggles only Jonny can hear. And stare with shining eyes even death cannot close. WITH MORE NERVE-SHATTERING TERROR On the payroll of a secret, government-subsidized organization, Chris Kelly is one of the world's few remaining professional assassins. And one of the best. When he arrives at the Summerland Hotel to investigate the disappearance of his cousin's husband, he suspects the worst. Awaiting him beneath the hotel are the grisly clues to a string of unspeakable crimes. Watching him, a few feet away, is a madman with razor-sharp animal cunning - and his own expertise in killing. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Uncorrected Page Proofs. Seller Inventory # 001577
