From Jim Brown, author of the celebrated 24/7, comes a spine-tingling tale of a small town haunted by dark secrets.

When the citizens of Black Valley, a remote Oregon town, are terrorized by vicious, sadistic "Whitey" Dobbs -- nicknamed for his shock of bone-white hair -- five teenagers concoct a shiver-inducing act of revenge. But their plans to eliminate Whitey go terrifyingly awry, sending him on a rampage that plunges Black Valley into doom for generations to come....

"Black Valley has it all -- an ingenious premise, engaging characters, masterful storytelling, and hair-raising scenes that chilled me to the marrow. Jim Brown is clearly a rising star in this new golden era of suspense fiction."
   JOHN SAUL

"Terror runs amok in Black Valley -- a Dean Koontz-style thriller pulsating with suspense, intrigue, and a twenty-year-old vendetta that rises (literally) from the grave."
   KATHERINE NEVILLE, AUTHOR OF THE EIGHT

"A classic page-turner... An intense, intelligent, fast-paced, first-rate thriller."
   JOE WEBER, AUTHOR OF DANCING WITH THE DRAGON

"Black Valley is an incredible story -- I'm still reeling."
   DOUGLAS PRESTON, COAUTHOR OF THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES
