The night uncovers all we wish not to see. A troubled man enters a dusky park before sunset. A young woman follows, hidden in shadow. Both have returned to the park to take back something the past has stolen from them, to make right six long years of suffering, and to find justice or perhaps redemption - or maybe they'll settle for some old-fashioned revenge. But something evil is alive and awake in those woods, creatures that care nothing for human motivations. They’re driven by their own insatiable need: a ravenous, bottomless hunger.

A curmudgeon. A loner. That's how people describe Garrison Gage, and that's when they're being charitable. After his wife's brutal murder in New York, and Gage himself is beaten nearly to death, the crippled private investigator retreats 3,000 miles to the quaint coastal town of Barnacle Bluffs, Oregon. He spends the next five years in a convalescent stupor, content to bide his time filling out crossword puzzles and trying to forget that his wife's death is his fault. But all that changes when he discovers the body of a young woman washed up on the beach....

Summary
When you eliminate the impossible, the only thing left is the truth.
Black Oak Security is a crack team of private investigators led by brilliant, enigmatic Ethan Proctor. He takes on cases that range from the normal to the unaccountably bizarre. Now one of his people, Sloan Delaney, has disappeared during a weekend getaway in the Cumberland Mountains. The last message he left - on Proctor's answering machine - was a tortured scream for help.
Soon Proctor is heading into the Kentucky wilderness, following in Sloan's footsteps to a secluded backwoods motel where a dreadful mystery is buried. But the truth behind Sloan's disappearance is only the beginning. For whatever is roaming the hills has left an entire town cowering in fear. Something unspeakable, and too close to home.

great story
I'm really like this book and I'm looking forward to book 2. Very good character development and kept me on the edge of my seat. At times it was a bit confusing but made pretty good sense in the end. I recommend it, kind of a good old-fashioned ghost story

Decent story, not written for audio
Decent story, not the best I've read from Grant, but a fun, dark mystery. My biggest issue is that the writing style doesn't translate well to audio, and I was confused many times as the scene shifted or conversations progressed without tags. The narrator does nothing with pauses or changed voices to remedy this.
