| Abstract | When Cletus J. Diggs gets a visit from his buddy Jasper and learns about the dead man sticking boot-first out of the fishing hole, he has no idea what it will lead to. How could he? Old Mill is famous for a lot of things: good fishing, barbecue, over-sized satellite dishes and disappearing beer; it is not known for genetic research, ancient rituals or alien abduction. From the moment Cletus and Sheriff Bob drag the corpse from the fishing hole to the final moments of terror, the action is non-stop, tense and filled with surprises. Between the Reverend Dozier and his church, the swamp witch, the albino twins and the local lodge's well-hidden secrets, the strange events in Old Mill, NC are pretty much out of control. Only Cletus, ordained minister, common law attorney, journalist, private investigator and jack-of-all-trades can draw together the people and resources necessary to set things right. The question is, can he do it before it's too late? |
