Mystic Fear — Jan Evan Whitford

What if a girlish prank you and your cheerleader friends played on a cute, but strange boy in high school came back to haunt you twenty-five years later resulting in terror, murder and a threat to your life? Well, that's exactly what happens to Nikki O'Connor. She's back, newly married and living in a breathtaking oceanfront RV Park where because of her police background, ?she jumps at a job opening as the new park ranger. Things are good and to top it off, her husband presents her with an antique brooch containing a rare purple pearl that turns out to be worth at least a million bucks. Meanwhile, the misadventures of a pothead kid who gets around in his mom's pink Mary Kay minivan and a sawed-off troll of a guy who speaks only in the cryptic language of fortune cookies provide some light diversion. But the bottom drops out and when terror arrives, Nikki teams up with her best friend, plus a 300-lb. ex-marine and also a street-smart teenage girl with Gothic tastes. Will this unlikely foursome be resourceful enough to turn the tables on a determined and demented psychopathic stalker?
