While the Savage Sleeps a forensic/paranormal thriller

Andrew Kaufman · 06-20-2010, 05:07 PM

I've just joined the community and wanted to say hi! My name is Andrew and I live in Southern California. I'm a writer and voracious consumer of suspense thrillers (I consume much more quickly now that I have my Kindle, which I love!). Always on the hunt for a good thriller book to read, so if anyone has recommendations, please spill!

Oh, and I've also written one! While the Savage Sleeps is a forensic/paranormal thriller, set in the fictional town of Faith, New Mexico. It's available on Kindle now and the paper version is due for release in mid-September. Here's a synopsis:

TWO STRANGERS

Cameron Dawson's got a past he can't seem to shake, but he's hoping to change that. He's moved back home to Faith, New Mexico and taken a job as assistant sheriff. What he doesn't realize is that his newest nightmare's about to begin. Strange things are happening. People are disappearing, and for others, it's far worse …

DISTANCE SEPARATES THEM

Miles away in Albuquerque, Kyle Bancroft's life is spinning out of control. She's seeing, hearing, and dreaming things she can't explain: Flashbacks to World War II and an eerie hospital ward with locked doors, empty gurneys, and guttural screams. To make matters worse, a ghostly green-eyed girl is complicating her visions with an urgent message: Time is running out.

A DARK SECRET CONNECTS THEM

Kyle's otherworldly encounters are driving her straight toward Faith … and right into Cameron's life. The body count is rising, the pressure is mounting, and the clock is ticking as they rush to uncover a dangerous secret hiding just below the surface of this all-American town—one that's threatening to destroy Faith and everyone in it. A secret they must hunt down quickly … even if it costs them their own lives.

A VOICE FROM THE GRAVE WILL DRAW THEM TOGETHER
