Description: When a falling body strikes Nick's car as he drives under an overpass, the police call the man's death a suicide, but Nick suspects murder and finds his life in danger when he tries to investigate.

Nick Corelli had nightmares.  They began with a day of nightmares.  First, his girl dumped him for a college man.  Then, as he was out driving, a man fell from an overpass and landed on his car.  The man died and the car was totaled.  Later than night, someone broke into Nick's family home and shot his dog.  But it was the falling man's horrified face that haunted Nick's dreams the most.  The police said the fall was suicide, but Nick knew that the man had not wanted to die.

To escape his nightmares, Nick decided to spend spring break driving the family motorhome to Houston to visit his older brother, Mickey, hoping the trip would bring him peace of mind.  Instead each mile took him deeper and deeper into a new, living nightmare.      Followed by two strange cars, and attacked at an RV park, Nick doesn't know what his stalkers are after.  You can't hide a huge motorhome, you can't ask for help when you aren't sure what the problem is, and you can't defeat danger when you aren't sure why it is following you.  

Willo Davis Roberts gives us a breathtaking adventure story in Nightmare.
