I have omitted the greeting and personal close. I would love any feedback at all. Thanks much.
The dark woods of Northern Wisconsin have harbored a secret for a thousand years; before the white settlers, before the Woodland Indians, before the mound builders. It is an evil brimming with shape shifting, cannibalism and murder; an evil being that needs to feed on young girls to sustain itself and a succession of loyal servants. DEAD GIRLS is a work of paranormal horror that pits brilliant, unorthodox FBI Special agent Kimberly Watson, against those servants, to solve a growing list of missing persons contained in a file on her laptop titled, “Dead Girls.”
Special Agent Watson is a certified genius, an over achiever, a loner, and a rules breaker. She lives for her work devoting every minute of every day to finding an end to the seemingly endless supply of missing people cases. Her idea of intimacy is a one-night stand. Her specialty is looking for connections in open cases, which might tie the victims together; not routine connections, things no one else would locate. What she finds is a connection between a series of disappearances and the lifestyle of the very successful, ever-youthful rock star, Jimmy Vale and his onetime best friend, the destitute, homeless, Chris Carter.
Chris becomes Kimberly’s ally and his story takes her back to 1989, when it all began on the cloudless, hot and sunny August morning that Chris Carter and Jimmy Vale began the last sane day of their lives. The two inseparable high school friends were off on the adventure of a lifetime, a cross-country trip in Jimmy’s car that began in New York and would take them wherever destiny called. A fateful decision to go northwest on Interstate 90 instead of southwest on Route 66 would lead them through the North Woods of Wisconsin and into the hands of The Cleaner; the ancient servant of The One.
The next twenty years give us the rise of Jimmy Vale as a chart-topping rock star/teen idol, who is also a serial killer. At the same time, Chris becomes a successful Wall Street Fund Manager and loving family man, who also must occasionally do some "favors" for the Cleaner. As Jimmy continues to embrace the evil, Chris eventually rejects it and loses his job and his family and ends up on the streets, where Kimberly finds him. Together they face off against Jimmy and ultimately The One, in a whirlwind mission that takes the reader across the country; Kimberly Watson must trust the research of a man who appears crazy. She must break all the rules, to join with him and help discover the forces at work, find their perpetrators and then understand how to defeat them.
The 80,000 word, 275-page DEAD GIRLS is the ultimate good vs evil contest with slightly blurred lines on both sides. It is fraught with sexual tension and dark introspection. It has a flawed protagonist who never wavers from her battle but lives an unorthodox lifestyle filled with one-night-stands and a flaunting of every rule she’s ever faced.
