In the remote northern woods of Maine, about midway between Presque Isle and Bangor lies the fictitious town Paskagankee (the closest actual town / name would be: Passadumkeag). A sleeper town with a cursed history. Arising from an ancient Abanaki curse something is haunting the woods, a hunter of people and dismemberer of corporeal forms.Newly appointed Chief of Police Mike McMahon and his favored officer Sharon DuPont (a rookie... a reportedly hot rookie) track down leads that eventually have them meet professor Kenneth Dye, a savant of the Abanaki history and curse. Together the three aim to find this cursed being and put an end to the 320 year old demons lust for blood.Mysterious, suspenseful, supernatural, human and at points romantic this makes for a decent, quick read as it maintains ones attention throughout. The ending is turned in just the right `didn't see that coming' direction to give the reader a good amount of closure and satisfaction.
