Samantha Chandler is psychic and knows that someone intends to kill her. The problem is, though she has terrifying visions, her would-be murderer remains but a shadowy figure. In desperation, she turns to Lester T. Hayes. Owner, as well as sole detective, of Ace Investigative Services, Lester accepts Samantha as a client, despite serious qualms about the validity of her claim. After all, no one is really psychic. But business in Macon, Georgia isn’t exactly booming, and Lester needs the job.

As events begin to unfold, however, Lester soon finds himself racing against time to prevent a murder before it can happen. Only he isn’t exactly sure who the victim will be—Samantha Chandler or someone else—because as Lester delves into his mysterious client’s past, he discovers the dark secret hidden behind the walls of the palatial estate of the wealthiest family in Macon, a secret someone is willing to go to any lengths—even murder—to keep hidden.

There’s something terrible in the woods behind the bucolic farm in the North Georgia Mountains. No one knows what it is, but each time the farm changes ownership, tragedy ensues. A local hunter is mauled beyond recognition. A young wife slowly descends into madness. A trained athlete dies a horrifying death. Now the farm has once again changed hands, and Sheriff Randal Hayes, with the help of big-game hunter Byron Wilkes, is determined to find—and to kill—the thing in the woods before it can destroy the new owner and his family. But how do you find something as elusive as the wind?  How do you stop the unstoppable?

The Dark Woods Trilogy includes The Dark Woods (a novelette), “The Runner” (a story), and Master of Fright (a novelette). While each tale is also sold separately, they have been combined in this volume with but minor revisions from the originals.
