<I>Something is out there?watching?waiting</I><P>It could be a mythical creature wreaking havoc on a Mystere hotel?or a malicious vandal. It's detective Tanner LeDoux's first case and?much to his chagrin?the hotel belongs to Josie Bettencourt, once the most popular girl in town and his unrequited love. A woman who now doesn't even recognize him.<P>Josie's poor memory is Tanner's luck, however. He has a chance to be the strong, sexy hero who protects her and her hotel from mounting danger. Tanner's no believer in the old ways, but one stormy night, he sees something horrific he can't explain. And he knows, without a doubt, whatever lurks in Honey Island Swamp means to keep Josie from him forever!
