Book Blurb:
Following his parents' ugly divorce, Jake Oliver chooses to
move with his father to a remote corner of Connecticut. Bad enough their new
home turns out to be a fenced-in dump in the middle of nowhere, but it seems
that the previous owner, his dad’s late Uncle Horace, had been the local
crackpot ridiculed by the community for his belief that a Bigfoot roamed the
vast woodland preserve that lay beyond the property. Not everything about
Jake’s new life is bad, though. His job at the local market is okay, and it
doesn’t hurt that his coworker is pretty Nell Davis. But when odd things start
to happen, like weird calls in the dead of night, stones thrown by an unseen
assailant, and lingering foul odors wafting on the breeze, Jake starts to
believe that maybe old Horace wasn’t so crazy after all. With Nell’s help, Jake
is determined to make a name for himself by proving to the world that the
mythical Sasquatch is alive and well and living in the woods just on the other
side of that fence.
