Books with title Haunted One

When a party of journalists, writers, and actresses descend on the resort of Green Oak, Alaska, they imagine a relaxing getaway where they can unwind from the stresses of the city. But when one of their number disappears, leaving only a handful of strange clues, the police are called. Sergeant Wood investigates the matter, but when he draws a blank he seeks the help of his friend, Detective Davis, who is happy to assist with the case. But on the day that Davis arrives, a second person goes missing, deepening the mystery. And when a third person disappears, the police know that they have the potential for a serious crime on their hands. Jack Thomson, one of the party, then comes forward and explains that all three of the disappearances had happened in a manner similar to the one described by him on his paranormal TV show. When Davis discovers that Thomson had arrived at the resort with his mistress, who is now also missing, and that his wife had arrived just before the first person disappeared, it seems like they have a strong suspect. But even if Thomson’s wife was responsible, why would she have kidnapped four people? The answers are there, lying beneath a sordid veneer of fame, greed and adultery. It’s up to Davis and Wood to get to the bottom of it.

Living in Beverly Hills under the roof of the most successful businessmen, doctors, and producers in town, getting anything you could ever dream of may seem like a dream come true, but being one of the elite isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. A stoned brother, abusive fathers, deadbeat boyfriends, and murdered mothers isn’t exactly envy worthy. But after years of being constantly in the spotlight, these ten teenagers have learned to turn their emotions off, paint on a smile, and never leave the house without their masks on. Let the show begin.

Detective Michael Bennett and his family are about to be haunted. . . by a father's worst nightmare-the signs he should have seen and a son's desperate cry for help. Reeling from a crisis that would destroy lesser families, the Bennetts escape New York for a much-needed vacation. An idyllic country town in the Maine woods is haunted. . . by an epidemic emptying its streets and preying on its youth. Turns out the vacation brochures don't tell the full story-the seemingly perfect community has a deadly vice. When local cops uncover a grisly crime scene buried deep in the woods, they consult the vacationing Bennett, who jumps at the chance to atone for his own sins. You can take Michael Bennett out of New York City, but you can't take the cop out of Michael Bennett. But far from the city streets he knows so well, no one will talk to the big-city detective, and the bodies keep piling up. A young, hardscrabble, and forgotten girl is haunted. . . by a traumatic history. Homeless and destitute, she represents the closest thing Bennett has to a partner in his frantic hunt for the ghostlike perpetrator behind the violence. Will Bennett and his unlikely ally unmask the culprit before anyone else winds up haunted?
