"A Real Page Turner"
"Incredible read, could hardly put it down. Was late for work, as I couldn't stop reading it." Man's sacrilegious infringements on Nature's delicate balance calls down a forgotten Indian curse and releases a raging mountain lion, a catamount in the North Woods. This creature is not supposed to be there and is not supposed to prey on humans, but two young children and their dog pick up its trail behind an isolated summer camp not far from the Canadian border. The children do not return and a search and rescue party sets out after them, but the rampages of the malevolent ghostlike cat hinders their efforts and a violent storm sets off a serious forest fire in the tinder-dry forest. "The definition of a good all-night thriller"- New Hamsphire Outdoor Gazatte "Just when you thought it was safe to go into the woods" -Rebecca Rule Review by Peter Sherman: "New Hampshire Sentinel Source" Listed in Laura Knoy's NHPR's 2008 Holiday Books |
"The apparition itself could only see in black and white, but its vision of the unaware deer is sharp and precise. One doe, feeding only twenty feet away, does not appear spooked by the abnormal silence, nor is she cognizant of her impending fate. A muted purring replaces the silence. This sound is unknown to the doe. Frozen for a moment, her head lifted, the doe stares. With no reason to bolt, she resumes feeding. The silence returns and then the wind rustles the grass. It is too late. As the doe turns, a black tail lashes out and the dark apparition springs".

"Murder At Stillwater Lodge" is now available. Roger Harris, a guest at Stillwater Lodge in northern New Hampshire, is violently killed at the start of a holiday weekend. Powerful spring storms wash out access roads and isolate the fly fishing enthusiasts and married alternative lifestyle couples gathered at the lodge. A flood of accidents and murders plunge them into murky waters, but the bold proprietors attempt to unravel the mystery and curb the violence.
Retired Fish and Game Officer Rob Schurman and local curmudgeon Ike Roberts are at the heart of it all as this exciting story shifts gears from a whodunit to a thriller in fictional Clifford, New Hampshire (also the setting of Davidson’s “Catamount: A North Country Thriller”). Once again all is not as it seems in the peaceful, idyllic lakes and woods of the North Country. "The author knows the North Country of New Hampshire. Once you start, you can't put this book down." Stephen L. Smith author of "Ronin of the Sea" |
