It began innocently enough for Cameron Taylor; an instant message popped up on his computer from someone identified only as "Emmi36."  A conversation that started as a curious flirtation eventually grew into a full blown "Internet affair."  Cameron was hooked and he knew that it would be only a matter of time before he would become an unfaithful husband.  He truly loved Julie, his wife of fifteen years, but there was something hypnotic about this Emmi36, this mystery woman.  That day had arrived. He was to meet her in a hotel for a night of passion and lust.

The scene that greeted Cam as he entered the room was far from what he had expected.  Emmi36 was there all right, but she was dead.  Cam’s first impulse was to run, but then he realized it was a setup to make him look like the killer. He decided that his only hope was to hide the body and pretend that this never happened.

Cam was in the construction business, and a development that he was building had a few units that were ready for the concrete basements to be poured.  Under the cover of night, he smuggled Emmi36’s body out of the hotel and buried her under the prepared foundation of one of the new houses.  In the morning the cement trucks would arrive and the body would disappear forever.

It looks like everything has gone smoothly and he will never be discovered, but then another message pops up on his computer.  This one says, "I know what you’ve done," and has photos to back it up.  It’s signed "Nemesis."

Cam is now under the control of a murderous blackmailer who sends an emissary named Dexter to explain the rules.  Nemesis seems to know everything about Cam and his movements.

Cam decides to fight back and, when he gets too close, Nemesis shows far-reaching power by sending Cam photos of his wife and children, who Cam believed to be hidden away and safe from danger.

Nemesis is one of those evil entities that you usually see in horror stories. There’s an almost supernatural quality to this unseen antagonist, enough to give the reader chills.  Walter Krumm has done a wonderful job with this novel. The plot is unique, the characters are easy to visualize, and the descriptions are graphic. It is very well written.
