Book description
Every hair on Ty's body, the skin on his neck and arms, everything
was clenched in a primeval fear stimulus response. In the thick of the
woods not ten yards away stood a creature, manlike, apelike . . . some
sort of hairy humanoid, like a gorilla standing upright on long legs.
Motionless, it stared at Ty, and Ty froze dead in his tracks.
Jesus Christ, this is Bigfoot.
BIGFOOT IS ANGRY.
When careless campers unleash a raging forest fire, they
inadvertently set in motion a blood-drenched spree of revenge.
Motivated by the immolation of his family, a nearly eleven-foot-tall,
preternaturally strong superprimate begins stalking the mountains
northeast of Seattle, hunting the "small two-legs" he blames
and leaving an eerie trail of missing people . . . but little else.
As people begin vanishing from nearby forests, former software
magnate Ty Greenwood risks everything to find out why. Tormented by
his encounter with a Bigfoot three years earlier, Ty's past now
collides with what he suspects is happening. But this time he doesn't
realize that the stakes are far higher.
In his search for two missing lawyers, Snohomish County Sheriff's
Detective Mac Schneider discovers a spectacularly large
footprint. Is it another hoax or is there really something to fear in
the woods? Despite mounting evidence, Mac fears ridicule and is
reluctant to reveal that the myth might in fact be a terrifying
reality. Complicating everything for him is Kris Walker, a gorgeous
but ruthless television reporter bent on getting the story at any
cost.
Joining the quest is an old Native American actor with a troubling
secret: Ben Campbell has a mystical connection to the beast. And while
Ben's link with this fearsome and intelligent being haunts his dreams
and could spell his doom, it may also prove to be the only key to
stopping this ferocious, inhuman killing machine. Can they end his
deadly rampage before he destroys everything they hold dear?
Just when you thought it was safe to go into the woods . . . The
Shadowkiller will give even the most hard-core skeptic a reason to
think twice before going camping.
"The Shadowkiller is a thrilling debut
from a talented new writer. Matthew Scott Hansen has crafted an
old-fashioned and very convincing campfire tale that will raise the
hair on the back of your neck." -- Nelson DeMille
Matthew Scott Hansen resides in southern
California with his wife and son and their two dogs and three cats.
This is his first novel.
