Creator of Rambo and co-founder of the International Thriller Writers
organization, David Morrell has been called "the father of the modem
action novel." Now this award-winning, New York Times
bestselling author delivers The Shimmer, a novel of chilling
impact. When police officer Dan Page's wife disappears, her trail leads to
Rostov, a remote Texas town where unexplained phenomena attract
hundreds of spectators each night. Not merely curious, these onlookers
are compelled to reach this tiny community and gaze at the
mysterious Rostov Lights. But more than the faithful are drawn there. A gunman begins shooting
at the lights, screaming "Go back to hell where you came from!" then
turns his rifle on the innocent bystanders. As more and more people are
drawn to the scene of the massacre, the stage is set for even greater
bloodshed. To save his wife, Page must solve the mystery of the Rostov Lights.
In the process, he uncovers a deadly government secret dating back to
the First World War. The lights are more dangerous than anyone ever
imagined, but even more deadly are those who try to exploit forces
beyond their control. With The Shimmer, David Morrell takes readers on a
brilliant, terrifying journey. Suspenseful, yet thought-provoking, it
is the master at his very best. pub date: 2009-07-07 | hardcover | 9781593155377 |
