About this ebook

Firefighter Paul Clouse is the prime suspect when his wife of six years is brutally murdered on Halloween night. Working to restore the West Baden Springs Hotel as a side job, Clouse soon learns that his friends and the historic hotel are targeted by a murderer disguised as the grim reaper. Investigated persistently by two detectives, he finds few allies at work or home, because an impending divorce from his murdered wife is motive in their eyes.

As the body count rises, more evidence points to Clouse, who always seems one step behind the killer. Only a few loyal friends help him seek the truth, knowing all too well the danger that lies ahead. The horrific discovery that the murderer may be someone he already knows sends Clouse on a desperate search to uncover the killer's identity and motive before everyone he knows is targeted.
