      About This Book

      They make not look dangerous, but look again. And listen closely, as an unwelcomed visitor shares terrifying secrets with a stranger at an isolated fishing hole. Observe two men who concoct a convoluted Hitchcockian murder pot, only to discover death is far more gruesome and permanent than it appears on-screen. Pay close attention when an aspiring assassin has a close encounter with his idol. And say hello to a lethally enterprising young lady, who meets her match sometime after midnight. But don't turn your back on any of them, because sometimes they bite.
