Happy Halloween!Welcome to the best holiday of the year.Or I thought it was until the tricks began to outweigh the treats. Frog curses, poisoned candy apples, and a wayward vampire are only the half of it. Add in a two-hundred-year-old curse, a depressed poltergeist, and a dead body, and you can see why my enthusiasm for the witchiest day of the year is waning. Not cool, Halloween Hijacker. Not cool.Which is why you can bet your wand I'm not going to go down without a fight, even if my actions land me in grave danger.

"Serial killer? Murderous cult? That would be easy."Do you believe in a higher power? A spirit world? Unseen things that influence human lives? While Caleb Dwyer went to church, he thought no more about these matters than any other typical person. At his place of worship, of course, he contemplated his God and, in his life, tried to say daily prayers, though mostly short ones. Other than that, not really.Then, along came the coyote.Detective Lieutenant Dennis O'Brian believed in nothing but cold, hard facts. Anything else-particularly other-worldly forces-was total mumbo jumbo. Then, along came Caleb Dwyer.When Dwyer, retired and recently moved into his brand new villa, decides to explore the vacant lot across the street where he sighted the mangy animal, spirits suddenly become all too real. What he discovers sets off a police investigation that tests the boundaries of reality and the depths of sanity. The journey involves strong detective work, revered Native American lore, and an old man caught in between horrific disbelief and strong physical danger. For Caleb Dwyer, seeing that coyote in the lot across the street from the deck on his villa was the beginning of a nightmare from which he couldn't escape, even wide awake."Twisty. Scary. Totally different."
