Untold Tale
Sheriff Tom Justice does the unthinkable. He agrees to allow a government project to be released in the woods of Rednest Lake in Caldwell Parish under his jurisdiction. The project, created at Si-Tec Industries as a means of warfare, a perfect killing machine, an animal genetically engineered to kill our enemies, is said to know the difference between civilians and our enemies. However, when civilians go missing in the woods and only pools of blood are left behind, the sheriff is faced with a dilemma. He can cover it all up which he swore to do and actually does, or he can choose to fight and kill the beast which he will eventually try and do.
An eleven year old boy is killed on a camping trip with five of his friends and two adults. It leads to the long time Sheriff Justice retiring at the end of his term. It changes everyone’s lives forever. Ten years pass, seeing the deceased boy’s father spiral into a drunken abyss and admitted to a crazy-house, one of the accompanying adults on the trip commit suicide from guilt, and the five boys grow further and further apart. Ten years pass before the boys deliver on their childhood pact of one day going back to the lake where their friend had been brutally murdered. Ten years pass before Sheriff Justice realizes that he had been played for a fool all those years ago and the government never captured the beast. Ten years pass before the sheriff (on a vengeful hunting trip), the boys (on a trip down memory lane), and the final surviving adult from the trip (on a vengeful hunting trip of his own) end up back in the woods of Rednest on the same night.
Their final showdowns will all come before the sun is up. Only a couple will survive the night.

Huge twist at the end. This story definitely had me interested. The government worked on a secret project, unleashing their own animal into the woods. When the first couple of deaths occurred, the Sheriff of the area became tired of having to cover them up. There is way more to this story. This tale has some gruesome parts that left little to the imagination. Definitely another great book by this author.

Good story
This was a very interesting story which kept my attention to the end. I would have rated this a 5 had the editing not been so poor (Kindle version).
