Nightmare by Dennis Collins is a really great possible breakout
book, hopefully it will see a future as a motion picture, it is
that good...... I have to admit that I am a bit biased about Dennis's
writings as I have "known" him/his works, since his first
book, The Unreal McCoy and have followed every book (Turn Left
at September) that he has written since then. He can write any
kind of story and make it a cliff hanger, having his reader sitting
on the edge of their chairs while he fleshes out the story.
Nightmare starts with Michael O'Connor listening to a client
that came into his Private Investigation Office to see if he could
help her prevent something from happening. The biggest problem is
that she, Bonnie Prescott, doesn't know what might happen, when
it might happen or why it will happen, except that she has a feeling
about her twin brother, Brian Prescott. A feeling that something
bad is hatching in his mind, and you know that Twin thing, Twins
always feel closely and intently whatever the other twin is thinking,
doing or feeling. And she knows that Brian is working on something
in his mind. It is the who, what, where, why and how that eludes
her. So she is there to see if someone can help her get the goods
on what is going on in her brothers mind. Real easy, right, WRONG!!!!
There is a really big festival in Caseville, Michigan each year
called The Cheeseburger Festival, and Brian Prescott lives about
20 miles from it, as the crow flies. Brian has a lot of property
on Lake Huron going into Saginaw Bay that no one has access to,
and a penchant for boats that can pull things without being noticed.
The parents of Brian and Bonnie died a long time ago and the property
that he now lives in was the home of his grandparents, who built
a huge fishing industry on Saginaw Bay, thus the boats and tools
availability. He loves BULL SHARKS and has studied them extensively,
so he knows their behaviors well. He also has voices in his head
that scream at him and chide him into wanting to kill things, primarily
people. The voices leave him alone after he does something to stop
them. What is he going to plan for The Cheeseburger festival?? Will
it involve using the Bull Sharks that he has in the boat house?
There was a guy named Digger who fell prey while searching out Shorty
(who is a day laborer) when he lost his balance in the boat house.
Shorty is a smallish man and works for people on a first come, first
serve basis, but he overheard something while he was working for
Brian that scared him down to his very soul and made him and his
wife become people on the run to save themselves. Can he find the
courage to go to the police? Have the calls that Michael exchanged
with his wife given him the courage to at least give Michael and
his other former partners the information needed to find and follow
the clues so they can stop a horrible event from happening at The
Cheeseburger Festival?
Get Nightmare and read it before you eat dinner, so that
you can finish it before you go to sleep so your brain doesn't work
overtime trying to solve this nightmare. Dennis Collins has a great
future ahead of him if he continues to put books together like this
one. It is a WINNER and I hope that a movie will be made of this
because it will have the audience riveted to the edge of their chairs
the whole time they are watching and having their own form of Nightmare....
