| Publisher Description: The town of Carthage, NY is not what it appears to be. To the tourists who pass by during the summer months, it appears to be an idyllic community. However, it never remains peaceful for long. In book one of the series, Don't Pay the Ferryman, a mysterious ferry owner comes to town, and shortly thereafter, a string of disappearances begin to occur. Local residents, Dave "Bucky" Morgan and Roger Fasick, decide to unite their efforts in investigating the bizarre happenings that have transpired since the ferry service entered their lives. In the second novel of the "Carthage Chronicles" trilogy, it seemed as though the town was becoming quiet and tranquil once again; unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Don't Fear the Reaper picks up the story five years later and finds the town experiencing a new threat in the form of destructive fires sweeping through the community as well as the appearance of a Grim Reaper-type individual. Before the town is completely destroyed, they must find out if the Reaper a ghost, a demon, or one of the local townspeople. Or worse yet, has the ferryman returned from the dead to wreak more havoc? The third installment of the series, Revenge of the Reaper, picks up right where the original Reaper story left off. After discovering that one of the townsfolk was the Reaper, a final battle ensued atop the historic Buckley Building, which resulted in the villain falling to his demise. However, three days after the felon's apparent death, his body disappears from the morgue and a ghostly Reaper has been spotted once again. As the death toll continues to rise, the town is left to wonder if the murderer has been resurrected from the dead to seek revenge, if the culprit is a copycat killer, or if the shadowy figure is the REAL Grim Reaper of Death - stalking the streets of Carthage to claim some souls for his own |
