Deep in the secluded regions of Tennessee is The Lodge, a
resort that caters to the wealthy, its "what happens at The
Lodge stays at The Lodge" reputation making it a popular
spot for those with secrets to keep. Unfortunately, The
Lodge has its own grisly secrets, secrets that FBI agent
Quentin Hayes is determined to bring to light. A member of
Noah Bishop's Special Crimes Unit, Quentin knows the time
is right to find the answers to questions that have haunted
him for the past 20 years.
Diana Brisco has always known she was different. There
isn't a medication or therapy she hasn't tried from the
time she was a young child, but still she can't stop the
nightmares, the visions, the voices that only she hears.
Medication-free after years of using mind-numbing drugs
prescribed by well-meaning doctors, coming to The Lodge is
the latest therapy attempt to curb what she believes is
mental illness. Quentin knows Diana isn't mentally ill,
knows that she's part of the puzzle, part of the key, to
unlocking the horrors of The Lodge.
With Quentin's guidance, Diana slowly comes to realize she
has a rare gift, the ability to communicate with the dead,
to walk among the dead in the gray time between life and
death. And the dead of The Lodge want to be heard, demand
to be heard, and are determined to stop the evil that's
lived at The Lodge and killed at The Lodge for years.
Wow! Hooper has crafted a spine-tingling, sleep-with-the-
lights-on thriller in CHILL OF FEAR. Each of her Special
Crimes Unit books gets a little bit better, a little bit
scarier, and this one is no exception. Quentin and Diana
are a fabulous pairing, each trying to deal with childhood
traumas that shaped the adults they are, while trying to
cope with present-day horrors that threaten their very
existence. The evil of The Lodge and its manifestation is
frightening in its implacability. CHILL OF FEAR...it's here!
FBI agent Quentin Hayes always knew he had an unusual
talent, even before he was recruited by Noah Bishop for the
controversial Special Crimes Unit. But, as gifted as he is,
for twenty years he’s been haunted by a heartbreaking
unsolved murder that took place at The Lodge, a secluded
Victorian-era resort in Tennessee. Now he’s returned one
final time, determined to put the mystery to rest.
Diana Brisco has come there hoping to unlock the mystery of
her troubled past. Instead, she is assailed by nightmares
and the vision of a child who vanished from The Lodge years
ago. And an FBI agent is trying to convince her that she
isn’t crazy but that she has a rare gift, a gift that could
catch a killer.
Quentin knows that this is his last chance to solve a case
that has become a dangerous obsession. But can he persuade
Diana to help him, knowing what it could cost her? For
something cold and dark and pure evil is stalking the
grounds of The Lodge. Something Diana may not survive.
Something Quentin never felt before: the chill of fear.
