Wound Too Tight

By TJ Perkins

With school out, summer vacation in Maine promised to be exciting for Shawn and his friends, until they uncover a lost treasure from an evil pirate named Simon de Cruel and a very special watch. Each boy decided to keep some of the treasure for himself, but a nerve racking inscription on the inside of the enchanted watch warns of danger to those who touch the pirate's treasure.

One by one the boys begin to disappear and the curse of the pirate touches the lives of all those close to Shawn. It's up to him to discover the secret of the watch, save the lives of his friends and put an end to the wickedness unleashed on his home town - before time runs out!
