His short stories featuring Dr. Westbrook have won the Ellery Queen Readers Award three times. Five Star Publishing is pleased to present the first full-length novel about the vet who keeps getting in over his head, no matter how hard he tries to stay out of trouble. After a stint in jail which cost him his wife and career, Dr. David Westbrook takes his battered Jeep, a one-eyed cat, and his troubled past to northern Michigan to start over. His plans aren't grand. He only wants to open a small country clinic where he can heal injured animals, and maybe himself, at the same time. But he's chosen the wrong county. In 1871, a Michigan farmwoman named Rachel Hayes vanished in one of the Great Fires that ravaged the Midwest. When her remains are recovered from a long-lost well, it's considered an amazing archaeological find. At first. Until the fires begin again. And the strange accidents start happening. As David struggles to build his practice, and his life, he becomes entangled in an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Rachel Hayes' death. At the same time, he also finds himself falling into a very modern love affair, and all of the problems that come with it. But the violence and accidents don't stop, and as people around him begin to die, David realizes that he must find out who-or what-is behind all of this. He can either believe in ghosts or something far worse-an evil so vast that even a million-acre fire can't burn it away.

Cold Hand in Mine
by Robert AickmanThese eight stories draw the reader irresistibly into eight strange worlds-uncanny, enigmatic, unearthly. In each there is something chillingly wrong-a hint of diabolism or vampirism, of reincarnation or the living dead-all of which could be explained away as hallucination or hysteria. Or could it? The stories cover a wide variety of settings and situations. A young English girl falls into peaceful but oddly enervating love in a palazzo in Ravenna, a man traveling on business finds himself as night falls in an isolated, unnervingly Kafka-esque hotel, Prince Albrecht von Allendorf meets his mysterious end in a mountain lake in Bavaria. Robert Aickman's stories are the work of a master of the genre, subtle, written with consummate skill and command of detail. Their mystery lingers, tantalizes, never quite lets the reader go.
